Mine's a conglomerate of camo. ACU Digital, BDU woodland and Real Tree shirt. Most of mine is thanks to the military. Winter, I wear some wool when it's really cold.

I like to hunt from the ground whitetail here in northeast  Mexico. Depends on the foliage and how things are around me, but I like to use the Marc Anthony guillie suit  with the carbon synergy applied to it, especially when I know the deer can pass very close to me. I have had the closest encounters with it, even deer bedded less than 10 yrds from me.

I had great sucess with the guillie in a Kansas hunt last november also.

I normally incorporate Leafy Wear into hunting clothes no matter the temperature. It works great in any situation that I've ever had.

Loin cloth.     :bigsmyl:  

But really the lightest weight stuff I can find. Some camo some not. When it gets cold I wear wool that has some form of pattern

Glad I saw this.  This year will be my first time hunting on the ground with archery equipment so this will help give me some ideas.  Right now I'm leaning toward the loin cloth due to the heat in Louisiana in October.

When i hunt from the ground i try to make a quick makeshift blind with natural materials. sometimes its nothing more than climbing into a deadfall.
 But when i do hunt on the ground i like to use syntheic leaves. you can buy a bag of green or fall colored leaves for cheap form most craft shops and just use a safety pin to stick one on each shoulder, a couple on the arms and a couple on my hat. Its a poormans way of doing it but works really good. Its a great method when you have to improvise and hunt on the ground when you didint plan to. Killed a doe in Illinois a few yars ago with this method. Was in a stand and watched a group of does use a trail 70 yards away, then half hour later a 6 point used same trail. i climbed down from my stand, attahced a few leaves to my clothes and hunkered down next to an oak with some shorter oak scrub infront for cover. 15 mintues later shot a lone doe heading in for a midday nap.

Woodland BDU's here in FL when it cools off. When archery opens it is still hot as you know what so I wear a leaf suit I made out of some mesh netting for air flow
You either do or you don't, there is no try
