To camo or not to camo...That is the Question!!!

[Bugle M In]

I have several Camo jackets, pants and raingear but agree with everyone that it's not needed, Camo in White for Winter hunting to help break up the pattern and blend in.
I like my camo as it keeps me dry and warm, I could have just used my hiking clothing for hunting but most of that is in various shades of blue and makes noise when I move.


I picked up a Ghillie suit for hunting this year, will see how this works out.

And then we wonder why some folks said they just saw a Sasquatch!!
Becoming all crystal clear now!

That is why I purchased a blaze orange cap to wear with the suit, I think it'll look a bit silly but I think it will work, I've seen hunters in these suits and you have to look hard to identify them, the suit also comes with a rifle cover so you're well hidden! With the suit, I can basically sit anywhere, sometimes it's hard to find enough material to build a natural blind to hide behind but this should work nicely.

^^^^Fair Enough, orange hat is good idea.
But those suites always remind me of this pic below (been on the site before somewhere, still makes me crack up every time.)

I appreciate all of your comments. Keep them coming. One thing that I will definitely invest in is some sort of head cover mask. I have read a fair amount about this and there seems to be a consensus that the human face is like the light of a light house.

Thank you in advance

Camo burka?

I've been hunting in BC since the mid 60's & have never used camo & probably never will because I don't hunt bears &/or waterfowl. I always wore something red & have been fairly successful approaching & shooting deer & moose over the years.

The other important factor is that one can be easily seen by another hunter when wearing hunter orange or something red.

2 hunters mistakenly shot recently

1.)

31 year old bow hunter shot by a .50 caliber black powder rifle & killed in Colorado by an elk hunter last Friday.
The bow hunter was wearing dark brown camouflage(allowed),not hunter orange.

2.)

A 74 year old Alaskan moose hunter shot Sept. 11- later died in hospital

Read that Alaska doesn’t require hunter orange.

I buy camo so it separates my hunting gear with hiking, fishing and camping gear. I just go to the closet and grab everything in camo and throw it in the camper closet and that way I know I have everything covered. Not too concerned about the overall camouflage patterns etc. Most of the time I end up getting blood on the same clothes I drove up in. LOL

driving around in the truck all day
no need for camo

I have Sitka gear, it’s good and is long lasting, bought most of it from wholesale sports and it’s still like new so you pay more but it lasts.

That’s because you walk with them… unfair advantage jj
