close or far away??? stuff that works good at close range doesn't always work at distance and vise versa...

I know that I'm opening a can of worms, but I need some advice.
I'm in the market for some new camo. I have plenty, but it's all in storage. I've been thinking about replacing it with some military surplus camo, either marpat or flecktarn. Has anyone tried this, and if so, what were the results? I mean, it should still work, right? It's primarily to break up your outline, so my assumption is that it would still function just as well.
First what are you hunting or whats hunting you ?
Deer, primarily. Coyotes as well. Terrain is Georgia pine forest.
Flecktarn looks pretty cool. The woodland seems to work best in mixed-but-predominately-pine woods, in my experience.

Discuss relative merits of various patterns not only in visible light but when viewed with night vision as well.
As for casseroles — two words:
Cheese
Condensed Cream of mushroom soup.
Cheese is bad enough. The cream of mushroom pushed it over the limit on the barf-O-meter.
No, if its casseroles you're wanting, I have two words; beans, bacon, ground beef, biscuits.
You've revealed the secret recipe.
I’ve never tried this, but if you would, please post the results. I’m scared of anything that includes canned ravioli.
Chicken-Cheese Ravioli Casserole
3 tablespoon cooking oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut into serving pieces
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 can (6 0z) sliced mushrooms, drained
2 cans (15 oz. each) Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Cheese Ravioli in Beef and Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup chopped pimiento
1 cup light cream
Hot pepper sauce
1 package (10 oz.) Chinese pea pods
3 tablespoon toasted slivered almonds
Combine cooking oil and butter. Heat in medium sized skillet. Fry chicken parts until lightly browned. Remove browned parts to warm platter. Saute onion and pepper in remaining butter. Add drained sliced mushrooms and ravioli. Cover; simmer for 5 minutes. Add pimiento, light cream and pepper sauce. Stir gently. Cook pea pods according to package direction. Add to ravioli mixture. Arrange chicken on top; cover. Bake for 45 minutes in 350 degree oven. Garnish with toasted almonds. Serves 4 generously.
If you can hold on a bit longer, Microsoft is set to release MS Cammo 9.0!
They claim it will fix all the problems of MS Cammo 8.0 + have a new learning curve that involves moving the Start button from the bottom left to the upper right. Wait, there’s more!
Version 9.0 is supposed to fix all the shortcomings of MS Cammo v. 8.0:
Not disguising your silhouette (We apologize for any inconvenience)
Now will come in more than one size! This is a breakthrough in the cammo world.
Now, a “Professional Version” for Bounty Hunters.
Now, spaced automatic updates will not interrupt your hunting.
Changing the background cammo wallpaper from a Monarch butterfly to look more like woods
You will still require scentlock and wild virus protection.
Once you verify you are a legitimate MS Cammo v 8.0 registered user, you can upgrade at a discounted price.
Just dig out you old camo and save your money. Neither deer or coyotes will care much which camo you wear. They will most likely smell/hear you before they see you. Turkeys on the other hand are very sensitive to seeing your outline.

Screw Cammo!
What you need is two bandoleers, a Fiesta hat, combat boots and a safety orange speedo!
Ya gott have them see you coming…thats how ya get it done
Good qquestion. I will be within 40 yards. Crossbow range.
That sounds delicious. Now I’m hungry.
Winner.
I bought Flectarn for my east Texas Piney Woods location. The pants are getting hard to find surplus and the new ones are expensive.
It seems to work pretty well in mixed pine/hardwood areas.
What do you hunt? Big game, fowl?
