Me!

For me the choice is to not wear any camo of any type any time I am in the field.

BUT to each his own.

Sometimes, just traded a great shirt jac from ADKKEN, Green, gray, and, black plaid really blends in in the hemlocks....

My warmer weather (early season) tends to be more camoish and my late season stuff isn't.  I've killed deer with and without the camo - don't think it really matters much or at all, to be honest.

Was wearing this (more or less - hood rather than hat and Main Hunting Shoe rather than LaCross but whatever) Friday when I killed a nice big fatty doe.  Didn't have a stitch of visible camo.

I do have some camo, but it's not my first choice.

My favorite warm season is a plaid shirt with camo pants (only because I haven't gotten the pants I really, really like in a solid yet!)

When it gets cold, it's back to camo as all the coats are that way.
Support the sport!

Plaid cotton shirt for warm weather, and wool solid and plaid for cold weather.

Early season pants are carhartt lt. brown and then wool for late/cold weather.

I hope I have stopped growing side ways so I will not have to do any new wardrobe upgrades.

Looks like I will be giving it a try the rest of the season. Just bought a red/black plaid wool coat yesterday.   :saywhat:

I wear plaid many times, but just recently bought an ASAT wool camo outfit. Like to wear the camo pants and plaid though. I get close to deer and they don't seem to mind!! It's when I fire little missles at them that they seem to mind the most!! lol     :biglaugh:

Mr. 3Feathers,
Have not worn camo in almost 20 years.  Plaids and/or solids are serving us well; be it Moose, Caribou, Grizz or Grouse we are after.  Same for Black Bear, Wolf, Coyote and Snowshoe Hare.

Filson, Pendleton, Woolrich, Main Guide (LLBean) are just a few I prefer over camo.

wear both...don't understand the guys who shun camo... I like the trad plaid look somtimes...sometimes wear a ghillie or camo..what is the stigma...never understood ....

I'm sold to wool and it seems like the top notch quality wool clothing is found in camo only.(Don't know about Asbel an LaClair).But I love the trad plaid,it just fit pefecly with trad bowhunting.
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

I dont quite get the anti camo thing either. Well maybe...I guess its like someone who chooses a selfbow over a laminated bow...or a recurve over a longbow? Or a baseball cap over a boonie.... Just a personal preference?
I like camo, I don't think it works any better than a good plaid, but I like it.
When its cold I usually have on some type of wool plaid, just because its a lot more available at better prices than wool camo of the same quality.
But if the cost was the same I'd have the wool camo, because I love the look of it.
Those Asbell pullovers are looking pretty darn good though!!!

I personally think that most not all bust most camo makes you look like a black blob at distances past 40 yards or so. Like I said most but not all.

I should add....I'm talking about deer hunting. When turkey hunting I pay close attention to my camoflauge.

When deer hunting I practice good camoflauge techniques, but I'm not concerned about a pattern.

trubltrubl - no stigma against it for me, I just don't get hung up on the hype of it all. I actually got a call once from a guy who was frustrated that he had to stop at the store on the way to his evening sit....it seems he couldn't find his matching camo gloves, he only had a pair of brown jersey gloves......" I sure hope Walmart has the right pattern....." I hung up laughing.

Its not an "Anti-Camo" thing. (though after wearing it daily for 20 yrs the novelty has worn off) Its more for nostalgia and the reason I shoot trad in the first place. That older, simpler ways still work just as well as the new mordern ways. That I like things a little more challenging, its one thing to reach out with your bow and touch a wild deer in a gillie suit and quite another feeling to do so in an Emer Fudd plaid coat and malone bibs. I have both in wool and mix and match all the time.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!
