Yes, but not always.

Anything camo, browninsh or gray that isn't washed with UV enhancers.

Holding still is the best tip and one I need to work on.

Turkeys are everywhere I deer hunt. And the last thing I want to do is spook a turkey by not wearing something that blends in. That turkey spooks and takes off, then the other animals (deer) notice and will be alerted as well. Turkeys can see colors that deer cant so it does matter. If I had NO turkeys in the woods I was hunting I would be in a red flannel and a pair dark pants to deer hunt with. Until then its camo for this guy!

I think anything that breaks up your outline helps. I've always used miss-matched camo patterns, usually ASAT on top and any camo for pants.I always wear a camo facemask,too.
So many popular patterns just turn into a blob at 20 yards.
I'm going to try muted plaids this year during deer season and see if it makes a difference.
I've had turkeys (osceolas no less)very close to me without spooking wearing blaze orange (just don't move!),so go figure.

even plaid boxers.

ASAT for me, the only way to hit the woods!

Texas Parks & Wildlife answered this issue for us with the head & torso hunter orange mandate for public land. Personally haven't worn camo in over 30+ years. I know professional guides who have never worn camo.

Some.



Here and there..



Sometimes it is forced upon me.



Most of my fleece IS camo, but some isn't. I go for comfort first, then concealment. But putting on camo usually means to me that firstly, I will be comfortable, and secondly, I am doing something I will enjoy greatly. I get the same kick that a Little Leaguer gets when he dons his uniform, as I used to get when putting on a stock, formal jacket and good boots before entering the show ring, my horse's mane all braided. Even when not hunting, it brings on those happy feelings.

Camo is fuzzy slippers for this hunter's soul.

There's nothing better then ASAT. It breaks up your out line better than anything. Thats all I've been wearing for years. If the winds right they look right through you..

Killie, those trousers look like the wool German surplus that was available 25? years ago. Great stuff; I wear them with a Winona type cardigan in ASAT. Quality clothing lasts for decades.

Filson hunting bibs and gray wool top or KOM top for warmth.  Camo is pretty much made to hide humans from other humans.  Some are decent ( ASAT) some are made pretty just for sales.  You move... you lose.

Skip thanks for driving the point home..ASAT..Don't go in the woods without it...

NO, not for hunting, do wear a lot for scouting becouse it is so available. good cam cost crazy $$ which i will not spend. i wear a lot of plaids and wool. the only exception is the old realtree like Killy has in her picture, i wear that on occasion as i have a couple shirts with fond memories.
I go by many names but Daddy is my favorite!

Trebark, Kenny.
The wool pants I bought at the surplus store were about 18.00 per pair, but although that was high in the mid eighties, especially since I was making 4.75 per hour, they have been well worth it.

Daily, I wear blue jeans and a free T-shirt...the ones from the Indian charities or veterans' associations. I am the Imelda Marcos of hunting boots, though, and will buy hunting clothes when the product seems right.
