Camouflage Vs. No camouflage?

[Newhunter7]

Hello, I am brand new to hunting and I have so many questions. Most answers I am quickly finding by doing research and reviewing other threads, but I cant seem to find a straight answer for this: Camo or not? I am looking to get into big game hunting in BC regions 2 and 3. I understand that it obviously helps, but is it essential?
If yes, what brands/types of gear would experienced hunters recommend and why? And do the different camo patterns make a difference?
And if no, what alternatives do you suggest?

Thanks for the help!

Sorry I forgot the joke!!

Two hunters were dragging their dead deer back to their car. Another hunter approached pulling his along too.

"Hey, I don't want to tell you how to do something ... but I can tell you that it's much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction. Then the antlers won't dig into the ground."

After the third hunter left, the two decided to try it.

A little while later one hunter said to the other, "You know, that guy was right. This is a lot easier!"

"Yeah, but we're getting farther from the truck," the other added.

no not essential, I've killed lots of stuff wearing red and orange clothes.

Big game animals (deer, moose, elk, etc.) are colour blind, so there is really no need for camo, just wear bright orange so you won't get shot. Straight Shootin.

My uncle has pictures of himself with some nice Mulies and sheep and he's wearing jeans and a red flannel shirt. I'm sure camo doesn't hurt but I don't think it's essential.

No.

The only ones which might need camouflage are predators and birds.

Camo is nice if you like Duck Dynasty

Do you need camo, simply no. The only reason I, and alot of other hunters I know, is because it is the specifically designed for hunting. Has numerous pockets, is quiet, and waterproof. If it is a nice day and I am just out for a walk I will wear jeans and a t-shirt.

Camo or no Camo... if you move while they are looking at you or you get upwind you will be busted.

I'd say all our grandfather's did alright before 3d camouflage technology was introduced.
