OK this may sound silly to some but I’ve got about 10 different camo patterns I use. I’ve been a bowhunter for over 50 years and camo is a must. It has to match the enviroment your in, here in West texas I use 3 different ones depending on the season and color. During the winter everything turns gray during the spring it varies and during the summer I can go to my darker greens to match the cedars. When I hunt Eas Texas I’ll swith to more of my tree bard designs, when I go to New Mexico or Colorado it requires different patterns. What I’m saying is theres no one set pattern, you match it to your enviroment as needed. Look at the background in the picture and tell me which one blends in the best.

Gee whiz! All that for hunting? My last time out I wore a olive drab zippered front sweat jacket with military patches on the front and shoulders, denim jeans, brown ankle high hiking boots topped off with a baseball style cap with U.S.M.C. embroidered across the front and no face paint or veil while wearing reflective lens trifocals.

A herd of thirty elk approached me and the first five, four bulls and cow calf, stopped twenty-five yards away as I was standing in the open next to a standing limbless widow maker. I took the calf with a forty-five seventy and they were still standing there although the calf dropped. I had to raise my arms and say “Shoo!” to chase them off so I could get to my kill. Even at that they left in a direction which took them right past me within five yards.

As long as you don’t move they don’t see you.

I guess the guy in the PINK CAMOS is stationed in San Francisco.

“...this may sound silly...”

Yes, it does sound silly. Here in Pennsylvania, if you are not moving, the deer don’t see you. It does not matter what you are wearing. If you blink, they see that and they’re gone.
