Inside of the blind, no camo needed.

I wear Nat Gear. I've always liked it. As some have said, it really doesn't matter what you wear if your in a box stand or 30 feet in a tree, but for bow hunting and turkey hunting, Nat Gear is great. It doesn't stand out like a black blob at a distance like most camo patterns do.

Is Carhartt considered a camo choice? If so, that's what i wear.

kamo is a state of mind...I wear it all the time mainly because when I dribble my favorite beverage or meal of the day on my clothes it just blends in... cool

I think all the choices now are more than adequate. Ultimately for me it's about the fabric and fit as well as weather proof and quiet.

If Realtree puts their name on it, it will sell.

Realtree AP until this past year. But now it is Sitka Optifade Forest. I had purchased some last year for a New Mexico elk bow hunt and have had a couple of experiences that have made me a believer in their pattern "science". Bottom line is that several times I have encountered deer and elk while in the open and in very close range and they simply could not make me out when I was standing right in front of them and they were looking for me.

Asat. Real tree and mossy oak don't hold a candle to it.

If you find yourself on those types of hunts/situations often. High quality camo is worth it. If you hunt from a blind, or tree stand, it's really unnecessary.

I shot a 10pt last year with a rifle in my buddies bow stand. I was hunting on his place and he only has stands for bows. 20 yards max. Watched him for 10 minutes before I shot him. He looked all around, never up. I was in boots, blue jeans, solid green t shirt and black jacket.

I like GameGuard. The deer don't seem to care what I am wearing though.

Actually, I think the only two colors that deer can actually perceive are blue and yellow.

Hard to beat basic brown or green from Carhartt or Dickies.

If it's winter I go all Paul Bunyan style. Wool pants, suspenders, flannel shirt.

If it's summer I go all Wal-mart style. $5 camo t-shirt, cotton shorts, flip flops.

Not joking.

Depends on the country you are hunting, but basic woodland is my first choice.

In tree it's mossy oak whatever is in the closet. In a pop-up black t- shirt or hoodie. Predator hunting is a whole different deal it's mossy oak brush head to toe. In a blind I would wear my pajamas if I had to but I don't wear any! eeks333

90% of the time dark greens and browns shirt, pant/shorts combination. When camo is necessary Mossy Oak Break Up seems to blend pretty well in S Texas. Realtree Leafy for Turkey. Colors I avoid: Red, Blue, White. Not exactly patriotic but from what I have read these are the colors that stand out to most game as either threatening (red/blue for Turkey) or are more visible (blue for Deer). And of course the required orange when necessary.

With all that said my father-in-law has been hunting since the 1940's and doesn't wear anything except blue jeans and whatever shirt he grabs. He used to wear a denim jacket even. He's probably killed more game around the world than I will ever see.

I'm a predator hunter more than anything.

Realtree is what I wear when hunting predators as well as everything else. It works in Collin, Fannin, and Coryell counties where I hunt.

More importantly I remember the words of a late 1960's sniper instructor, via a documentary I watched.

Consider:

Shape
Shine
Silhouette
Shadow

Add movement to the list for weary eyes. Those will keep you hidden at distance. Less than 100 yards I want to be wearing camo.
