I think camo helps, no matter if you're a archery or rifle hunter. I do a lot of still hunting when I'm rifle hunting, so it sure can't hurt.
Most of my gear is camo because I do a lot of predator calling, and most of my gear and clothing is purchased with that in mind. I know I could go out there and call in a coyote with a santa clause suit on if I don't move, but I go out to enjoy myself, and camo I think affords me a little bit of movement when I just can't take that itch or fly buzzing up my nose anymore. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
This November I'll be out rifle elk hunting in camo BDU pants, because that's what I've got, and BDU pants are damn handy to stow stuff in. I'll also be in a black fleece jacket, unless it rains or is really cold, then the windproof/waterproof camo shell goes on over the top. Might look silly to be all camoed up with a big old blaze orange vest on, but that's the equipment I've got, and I won't go out and buy all new non-camo clothing just so I can avoid looking like a "greenhorn" (god forbid) come opening morning! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Biggest thing, aside from the obvious of watching the wind, is to hide bare arms and face if you can be seen I think, which is why I also carry a camo facenet and lightweight gloves at all times. Face net and gloves go on anytime I put the sneak on game, if it's 50 yards or 500.
Personally, I always thought the best camo pattern would be a 3 color jacket or pants, in LARGE pattern, like maybe only two or three blotches on an entire jacket. I'm sure the camo guys have thought of this as well, but it won't look as cool as Advantage Timber, so I'm sure the idea gets scrapped.
