asat all the way!!! I slowly stood up in front of a doe and didn't even spook her, she was about 15 yards away. that was enough for meto believe that I made the right choice in camo

Worry more about movement and scent control and just wear what's warm and comfortable.

Here is the answer. Camo is for marketers and their cash register. It doesn't do anything to help you hunt deer. It's a cash-making myth.

I hunt with a guy that wears his smelly old work coveralls ! (blue and white)

He gets a NICE buck and a doe EVERY year.

Wonder why our troops wear camo in battle??

Yes, camo can help, but the secret is in staying as stationary as possible.

Really? Come on.

Yes really.

Why do you think all of the scent free soaps boast no UV brighteners. Go wash your camo in Tide if you think it doesn't matter.

Oh and if you do happen to wash in Tide, you can spray water that has had black walnut husks soaking in it on yourself and that will kill the UV for you. Of Course it could stain

Test your camo for UV by firing up your old black light and parading around in front of it. You might be surprised. A lot of hunter orange and camo glows under a black light especially if laundry detergent that used brighteners are used.
I do agree that camo is kind of like some fishing lures. Designed to catch fishermen.
Any camo helps, open patterns at long range don't blob out thats why Predator and ASAT work. Not moving works pretty good also!

Exactly.

I wear the Under Armour getup in Real Tree HardWoods (no preference just what they had). I love the Under Armour stuff though thin light very maneuverable yet very warm. Over priced compared to others but you get what you pay for. I have a long hike to my hunting spot so weight and bulk is a kicker that’s why I went with UA no complaints other than price. I have 2 different base layers depending on temp, bibs hoodie and jacket.
