close or far away??? stuff that works good at close range doesn't always work at distance and vise versa...First what are you hunting or whats hunting you ?
Flecktarn looks pretty cool. The woodland seems to work best in mixed-but-predominately-pine woods, in my experience.

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.

What you need is two bandoleers, a Fiesta hat, combat boots and a safety orange speedo!

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?
The Army is making changes to camo uniforms.

I have childhood memories of my great-uncle calling up Turkeys in while clad in jeans and a Plaid shirt. His deer “blind/stand” was often the tailgate of his truck. He just had a knack for being in the right place at the right time and knew where to set up for whatever it was he was hunting for. He may have used magic for all I know...
Now, I’m not saying I don’t use camo - I do! I need all the help I can get (probably more than that) and I’ll still never be a fraction of the hunter my great-uncle was. So based on my personal experience, I think the hunter himself has more impact and influence on whether a particular camo pattern “works”, than the camo pattern itself.
That may not help your question, but I guess I’m saying you should just pick what you think will work best based on how you know your neck of the woods. I bet you’ll do just fine! Best of luck bagging what you’re after!
