I was just wondering, do most of you use camouflage or just go jeans and tee shirt when you hunt?  If you do camouflage, do you have a preference?

Thanks,
Michael

first big buck i shot i was wearing a green hoodie light blue jeans in the middle of the field deer didnt even see me...woke up late during the rut and went out to glass the fields and he walked within 20 yds of me and didnt have a clue
if we are not suppose to eat animals,then why are they made of meat

I wear both, but tend to use a lot of camo.  Why?  Because it's what some of the best modern fabrics are made into.

I also use a lot of mono colored windbloc sewn by my bride.  It's been said on here a thousand times and proven by those of us who have to bowhunt part of the year in blaze orange.  It's motion that matters most.

I've killed them both ways. I prefer camo the two I like best is ASAT and I like to wear the old Winona camo as well. It isn't always needed but it can't hurt to wear it. Besides most of my camo is built to meet my needs while hunting. I can't say that about alot of other clothes.

I use camo but I don't buy expensive stuff, just good ol military surplus.I'm cheap!

Both camo and solid colors for me.

I like camo b/c it reminds me that I am not @ work.  When else do you get to wear that stuff?  It's part of the experience.  Most bikers don't wear leather b/c they have to.  Believe me, I have seen plenty of motorcycle wrecks and that leather isn't going to save your hide in a bad accident.  It's all part of the experience.  Playing "dress up" helps you get into the mental state that you know you are hunting.  That's how I feel anyhow.

camo for me too, normally predator deception or fall grey because i fidget too much. i've been looking at ghillie suits alot lately too.

Jeans and T-Shirt = cotton.  Cotton is not the best at keeping you either warm or dry.  The new materials are so much better.  H

I use camo. Mostly I use older Skyline apparition.

mookie

Camo I don't think the deer care but it makes me feel better kinda like a ostrich sticking his head in the sand i guess.

Brently

Mostly jeans and a shirt, sometimes I use my old BDU pants because they have lots of pockets.  Most of the critters I have taken I have been wearing jeans and a tee shirt.

Csmo - Predator.  I think that it helps when your right on top of them.  I have had them look right thru me and then made the shot at pint blank range.  Movement is a lot more important, or the lcak of it anyway.

Same for me, with those being three of my favorite camo patterns. I have found several other good patterns too. Camo does work, although lack of rapid movement is more important, and keeping your scent away from the animals you are hunting is the most important.

I stalked a young Red hind in my socks and underpants one morning,,,it started to rain and I ended up losing contact with her because she was moving faster than I thought.
My glow in the dark soft bits didn't seem to affect anything much.
Did get very wet but.

Most of the time I wear some camo things but don't go out of my way to buy it.
Winning or losing is not the important thing,,the important thing is how well you played the game.
