Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What is your "go to" camo...?

Sometimes I smear a bit of mud on myself..

I tie a pair of branches to my arms and creep around the forest.

For the most part, Carhartt brown and Wranglers!



But I do always wear a snow camo poncho overtop for coyote calling.

Are you hitchhiking?????

When I was younger and more foolish I wore tan Carhart pants for hunting. One day I ralized that I probably resembled parts of an elk while walking through the heavy timber. Now I wear camo pants (any pattern mostly dark) because I like all of the pockets. Orange where required (at least near the road) and a camo shirt when not. When its cold I have two wool sweaters (one heavy, one light that are about the color of an old fir tree that I wear over the camo. I always wear a wide brimmed hat (canvas) for sun blocking and rain.
When hunting (not walking) in the timber I never walk into an opening, stay in the shadows, stay out of the sun and am very quiet.

Dude.. Awesome buck, great pic.

Damn kids making me look bad...

Carharts and wool, with a little hunter orange thrown in.

"Dont be that guy!"
For rifle hunting I might wear a camo shirt but mostly tans and such. Archery hunting though I do wear camo. I use Mountain Mimicry in Sitka and now Core4. I have some Kuiu gear as well. I have stuff in Predator and Realtree as well that does not get used too often, but in reality it all works if you move slow and stay in the shadows. I look for material and build more than pattern.

Camo is a good excuse to charge more for a low quality garment.

Whatever was on sale.

I use whatever I find on sale.

Various patterns of Realtree. For Sunday go to meeting it is Seclusion 3d Open Country.

Jeans and checked flannel or wool. I don't particularly like camo for hunting, I only use it because most of the clothing I like is not available except in camo patterns.

The best pattern I've found is the old "rock-a-flage". Cabela's outfitter camo is not too bad, depends on the background. I do just a well with a not new, but not too faded pair of jeans and a dark green shirt or jacket.

I'm thinking this is the way to go...

I like Realtree all purpose, Predator, and Cabelas Outfitter. Other than bow hunting, it doesnt matter.

99% of the time it is a Bemidji Wool blaze orange coat with a gray wool bibs.

So far, it's worked pretty good.

If I am bowhunting I wear camo and I try to use a differnt top and bottom to get a sil breakup. If am rifle hunting I will wear camo pants only because I have them and sometimes camo jackets with a Orange vest again because I have them from bowhunting. I find rifle hunting relaxing vs bowhunting
because I don't have to worry about getting into 30 yards or so.

I forgot AP, I like it too.

I wear camo pants

and an Under Armour shirt that is meant to keep me from smelling due to sweat.

Corduroy pants, flannel shirt of any color, and orange hat and vest or sweatshirt. Big game animals are still color-blind, whatever the camo manufacturers might have told you, and motionless in blaze orange I have had lots of them within a few yards of me, upwind, to prove it. Unless you quit breathing or remove your sweat glands, scent-block camo clothes don't work, either.
