OK so chime in... what is your favorite camo and favorite pattern of camo? Down in my area Advantage Wetlands works well for just about everywhere I go. Will be going into a different area for turkey here soon so am looking at some other camo patterns.

its all about pucks and bucks

    What camo do you use? Myself I mostly use Advantage Timber, but sometimes I use a home-made ghillie suit.

    Try cutting and pasting this.

    Advantage Timber--It really disappears. I love this parka system, it is kind of bulky though.

    I mainly have Mossy Oak, and Realtree hardwood or whatever. Late winter time normally brings out my woolrich then I have some cheap camo coats that I have sewn (sp?) more camo onto that I wear over my wools.
    Yes, I can use a needle and thread, makes me bleed sometimes, but it's all good. [:D]

    My fiancee has bought me some of those exspensive cabelas parkers and stuff from Gander, but my woolrich is what I wear when it's cold, those new things don't hold a candle for me...

    Whatever is on sale. I dont think the Deer recognize diferent patterns. As long as your outline is broke, youll be fine-Ohh yeah-make sure your face is covered.

    salzo, you trying to make a point about me covering my face? [:D][;)]
    I agree, I think all my camo was bought when it was on sale or on the return counter [:)]

    Gosh! How do I get myself into these messes![:D][:)]

    I find that even if you are wearing blaze orange, covering your face with a camo mask is beneficial. It has been my experience that the first thing an animal recognizes, is the face. Next is the hands, which is why I ALWAYS wear camo gloves when hunting. Even if I am squirrel hunting, I make sure I have a mask and camo gloves.

    I use realtree hardwood in 3-D, then in colder weather I use the same pattern in a warmer style without the 3-D. Always camo-paint my face because it seems my glasses fog when I use a mask. O.K. let the comments fly about me usin makeup[:D]

    As long as you realize that you're gay, I have no comment.[:D]

    Just kidding, of course, I use face paint too. I use dirt/mud on the backs of my hands.

    I think those were the first to get knocked off, But on a serious note my camo depends on where and what time of year I am hunting.

    [:D]I try to do the same match where im hunting it's weird I have had deer real close with no camo when I was younger. We just hunted in blue Jeans and work boots hooded sweatshirt. Granted I was not bow hunting but still got pretty close to deer. I think camo is important but aso I think it mentally makes a hunter feel more confident thinking a deer cant see them. In all I try to use every advantage I can get.[;)][;)][:D]

    I use mostly Realtree nowadays so as to look like an Oak Tree.But I really believe you can't beat the Old Army WWII Camo for great concealment.You just can't buy it in Hunting Clothes anymore.
