    Is camo necessary?

    Hey just wondering how many experienced hunters wear camo? I can see it giving you an edge, but is it really that necessary? I was under the impression that most game rely on smell and hearing rather than sight, but correct me if I'm wrong?

    Hunted for years without it in fact back in the day NO ONE wore it or went out in the woods without Red or Blaze Orange, the standard dress was a red or orange cap and red plad jacket. Got as many then as now.

    Not needed. There are more important things a hunter needs to focus on rather then camo or not,like scent, wind, noise etc etc etc.

    Well I wear fleece camo mostly because its quiet and warm but I think having your figure broken up helps a bit if your stationary but if your moving I don't think it matters,they have amazing eyesight.
    All I ever used to wear was wool pants and shirts and I never had any trouble getting a deer,I just found the wool is very heavy when wet and it takes to long to dry out,fleece give it a shake and your on your way.
    I don't think it's neccesary,watching your wind is much more important.

    Save your money and put it towards a good set of binoculars.
