I just thought it would be interesting to see what camo pattern everyone starts the season with and ends the season with. I know here in central Mississippi the woods are still very grey when the season starts so a camo pattern like Mossy Oak Obsession would stand out pretty bad in mid March. Personally I wear the same camo all season. I wear Power Bark made by Power Pleat Technologies. It's camo with pleats to add a 3d look. It's pretty bland with no green but it looks like tree bark so it looks good sitting at the base of a tree. Sometimes I also wear a Mossy Oak Breakup leafy suit over it. Does anyone vary their camo as the vegetation changes in the season?
I start out the season wearing mossy oak forest floor and slowly phase mossy oak obsession into my attire as spring brings greener foliage.
Yep I green up just like the woods
I have 3 go to patterns
Mossy Oak Bottomland=wear it when it is dark/cloudy, or in a place that has low sunlight
Mossy Oak Breakup- similar areas where I wear Bottomland, but partuclary early season when everything is still without leaves
Realtree Hardwoods Green-wear it when it is sunny, open wooded areas or fields
I like to change up primarily to environment.
I pretty much wear the same camo all season. I hunt in Alabama and we always have some sort of green in the woods but in my opinion, if you don't give away your position with movement, it really don't matter what camo you wear.
nope i wear the same through the whole season. :icon_thumright:
Nope, I don't match camo at all don't think the turkeys care to much. I've killed one in Colorado when it was snowing with the same camo I wear in Florida :fud:
"Camo", I wear it (makes me feel like a ninja) ;D Camo is over rated, low def, high def, 3d, etc..etc..., if you don't move, it really doesn't matter.
HC
Same camo just way more dirty and smelly by the end of the season :funnyturkey:
I wear whatever is clean and treated with tick repellant. I wear according to the temps and weather conditions.
I wear military surplus...digital grey early then more green later when things leaf out. Use a ghille suit most of the time that I've made...not that hot at all..it has excellent ventilation in the hood and the coat..
I start the season with Mossy Oak Break Up then change to Mossy Oak Shadow Leaf or Obession as the woods green up.
I change mine the same amount the turkey changes his.
I keep the same camo pattern all season.
Woodland camo march thru may.
Nope.
Use same camo. I will be trying the light leaafy suits in hot weather this year.
I wear bottomland and obsession either one is good at any time in south alabama. I also have a pair of Mossy Oak forest floor pants that work great any time, wish they would make that stuff again.
Shir do start with mossy oak forest floor pants and bottom land shirt and vest then when it greens up use obsession top and vest
Start out wearing Bottomland, then as the woods start to green up switch to Obsession.
I have two different categories of camo, one if for cool weather and one is for warmer weather since the spring morning can go either way from day to day.
Most of the cooler/lighter weight camo does happen to be in mossy oak obsession because that's what they sell it in most frquently.
I don't think it matters a ton as long as you hide your movement well so I buy for comfort and cost...meaning I buy what's cheap off the bargain rack and it works.
Hell, we used to kill them in old army fatigues and almost any camo you buy now is more effective than that stuff was.

The majority of my hunting is in N. Mississippi. I change my camo up throughout the season personally. I start with all Mossy Oak Bottomland in the early season and then switch to a combination of MO Obsession & MO Brush. I use the Treklite camo with the zip off legs and attach an opposite camo to them. My vest is Bottomland so I end up wearing 3 different camos.

:agreed: same here!
I wear the same camo from start to finish. Realtree Advantage Timber but it's not made any longer.
mine changes some because of weather, not color
I don't change here in Eastern NC. When our season starts the 1st week of April, we are starting to get our Spring Green Up so it's Realtree APG all the way.
I change as the woods green up but I also change with the properties I hunt. A South La swamp & the Homochitto NF that uses prescribed burning, I wear Bottomland. Some cattle farms and a hunting lease that I hunt, I use Obcession........
Natgear SCII or Bottomland all season long.
shadowleaf
ASAT all year long for me.
what ever is clean
i start with standard camo for the spring hunt mostly water proof jacket and pants then to lighter camo shirt and pants as it warms up and the most fun is my Canadian snow jacket pants and gloves for the late fall hunts as it will be white out and very cold. Short version depends on the weather! :goofball:
I start the season wearing a leafy pattern - not sure what it is called but it has patches that hang off to break up the outline and wave in the wind like leaves. (I call it my leafy cammo). It is in Mossy Oak Advantage - I think - but it is brown and blends better before green up. As things get green I switch to Mossy Oak Obsession - but I really want to try realtree APG this year. Man that stuff looks good.
Nope, I wear the same camo all season. No issues so far
I wear realtree apg for the whole season.
My camo of choice is unusual; I use as obnoxious of a light green color of scurbs as I can find and top it with a Redhead leafy suit from Bass Pro. It really breaks up my profile and doesn't blob all into one color at a distance. The first year I used it I was in the middle of a field and called a gobbler in to 35 yards (where he got shot, may have gotten him in even closer).

Very cool! I've never thought of anything like that before!
