I usually have a combo of Mossy Oak products that range from breakup, breakup infinity, bottomland and a vest that is obsession.
My stuff is a mixture of Advantage Timber, Realtree APG and a few items of Realtree AP and MO Forest Floor.
Just depends on whatever I can find when I wake up and stumble out the door!
I have some mossy oak obsession and realtree ap.
I wear MossyOak BottomLand exclusively. I have an insulated set of Breakup Infinity that I will break out on those sub-30 mornings, but those are few and far between in Alabama's season.

Yea just made it though the season last year before the Bama blizzard hit us lol.
At the beginning of the season I try to match the enviroment with Breakup, Fall Foliage, and Bottomland. As the woods green up, I mix and match the above with some kind of green like old Greenleaf and Full Foliage. By the end of the season I just grab whatever looks cleanest and has the least amount of smell. ;D
I now use Natgear SCII but I'll admit there is a soft place in my heart for Bottomland and Obsession.
To tell the truth ,I dont know. Whatever I grab that keeps me comfortable. I kinda look like an explosion at the Goodwill store.
ASAT leafy suit for me.
Whatever I happen to pick up. Between my hat, vest, shirt, pants, gloves, and so on...I usually have at least three different patterns. ;D
I'm much like Red and Stink-- I couldn't tell you the brand of camo I have on if my life depended on it.
I wear camo that is open and has good contrast. I don't like a real dark camo
Pattern. Alot of the big sellers are terrain specific. Sure they'll work great in the right setting but say you don't have the perfect tree with shadows to set up against. This is why I like the predator line and asat. Anything will work, sitting still is the main thing. I've killed em in blue jeans before. I like to mismatch my camo, I don't think I have any that matches and I wouldn't have it any other way. The pants I like are Cabelas ACU. They're a military pant in hunter specific camo. They're tough and got removable knee pads. I have the seclusion open country which is a light camo designed for fields or western hunting. I took a black permanent marker and added a lil personal touch to darken it up and give it a little more contrast. I'll upload a pic here in a lil while.

Whatever I can fit my fat azz in after a winter of slacking! :toothy12:
It really doesn't matter. I mix and match everything.
I wear whatever is clean..With that being said, I believe that all camo is over-rated and is the product of a well orchestrated, multi-million dollar marketing scheme. If I was a betting man, I would have to say that, over time, more turkeys have been killed by men in blue bib overalls, with a with snot rag hanging out the back pocket, than have been killed in camo.
I admit that camo is, indeed, effective, but I rather doubt that it matters if you match the pants to the shirt.
Not trying to be a smart a$$, but some think that if they don't look like the bush or tree that they are sitting next to, the hunt is over. Not the case..
No combos here, Realtree APG all the way. When our season gets started, the first or second Saturday in April, we are having good green up everywhere.
I like: Mossy Oak bottomland
Mossy Oak Obsession
Realtree All Purpose Green (APG)
They work for me!!!
I personally use Obsession exclusively! I agree that camo patterns are overrated to an extent but if a particular pattern gives you confidence then by all means use it!
Predator Green Deception, Predator Spring Green with Mothwing Spring Mimicry!

x2
Whatever is clean......I killed all my birds last year while wearing a pair of hunter green khakis.
Mossy oak obsession, forest floor and bottomland.
Which ever Walmart had on clearence the year before. :toothy9:
My pants are Mossy Oak Infinity and the shirt/sweatshirt is Mossy Oak New Break-up. The hat is what ever I happen to grab as I head out the door.
My camo consists of about 5-6 different patterns over 30 years and as long as I don't move, the gobblers get shot even with non-matching patterns. I don't look as cool when going out for breakfast, but the money I saved on new camo pays for extra biscuits.
Good luck
Wess
I pick my camo on 3 criteria....
#1 Comfort- I get hot easily so I like the lighter weight camo and just layer up when I need to.
#2 Price - no need to pay for the newest stuff, when the older stuff works fine.
#3 Camo pattern/color- I FIRMLY believe that almost any of the modern camo patters work well for almost any terrain as long as they have mostly brown/gray colors. I dont got much of the "spring green" colors because early in the season, there's not a ton of green out there but no matter what time of season, there is ALWAYS going to be brown and gray (color of tree bark/brush and leaves on the ground). Also used to hunt in the old school camo and army fatigues when I started hunting "back in the day" and as long as you sit still, hide decently well and break up your outline, the birds didnt seem to notice me.
it's no secret that camo is geared more towards the hunter's preference than the game they're pursuing. as long as you're in the shadows and/or have some cover in front you if doesn't really matter. that being said, i wear my treklite pants and shirts in obsession just because they're lightweight and quick drying. i also wear gloves and a face mask, just because it gives me more confidence. what pattern my clothes are doesn't really matter to me though.
I have a mossy oak obsession diffusion suit that I've been using the last 6 years. I love it... was pricey but holds up great. I just pull that over some light weight camo pants and a tshirt
Obsession
When I was younger I had a major addiction to Bill jordans Advantage. I sort of still might. I have 4 guns in that pattern and that may be because of that pattern. Well when i was younger and single I actually had a few bucks So I kind of bought everything. Luckily I am still living off of old stock. That said I have added advantage timber and a few other greener camos to my wardrobe. Now I like the mossy oak lineup. Remember its not a passion its an obsession.
I usually wear whatever i can get my hands on that will more-or-less blend in with where i am hunting. However, I have noticed that the birds seem to come closer, sometimes way too close, when i have a leafy suit on. I walked S L O W L Y out of the woods at the end of the season last year as a doe watched about 30 yds away. She kept an eye on me but never ran. I was in pretty thick woods and down-wind i guess, but from my observations with turkeys and deer, a leafy suit seems to be something that just does not compute with them.
Normally, whatever I happen to find on the clearance rack at Bass Pro Outlet Store. ;)
My shirt, jacket, vest, face cover and hat are Realtree Xtra Brown because I've been hunting that long and it's a good pattern. My pants are Realtree Max1 because it had the most green of the patterns available in the lightweight zip-off shorts / pants I wanted. CA in the spring time is a RIOT of shades of green and it gets hot in the afternoons.
I like having two different patterns, I think it breaks up the man shaped outline.
cammo makers are robbing us blind...no wait....were giving it to them. It doesn't matter. I've worn green when nothing anywhere near me was green. They pick me off when they get close enough to see me breath. I wouldn't wear an orange vest.
Well since I only have a spring season here, I've been using the same cheap ole Red Head leafy suit for the last oh probably 7 or more years. It's super light and I generally just wear shorts and a tshirt under it, along with a pair of Under Armour Speed Freak boots.
Been wearing mossyoak all my life! I'm a shadowleaf man I bought a bunch of it when they decided to discontinue it! Also ill mix in some bottomland & treestnd early b4 the leaves
I usually just wear whatever I have that's most comfortable. Last year bought a leafy jacket and love it. I can where a short sleeve under it and when it gets to hot i can pull the jacket off and cool down quick.
Early season I will mix Bottomland, Breakup Infinity, and Obsession. Mid-season, I will swap to full Obsession. I've been a Mossy Oak person for several years now.

I don't think any pattern matters if you can't sit still. But if you do you part, effective pattern right for the situation can help determine outcome. I agree in base colors need to match time of year and environment. Wore an older pair of Advantage pants first week last year that had faded some over the years, and the gray base color was just too light for the dark bark and leaf litter on the ground. Got picked out three times that morning as soon as the birds came into view. I never even flinched, had a wide tree behind me.
Those pants got moved to the work clothes bin.
I think the colors need to be more toward brown, dark brown and black highlights as a base layer, like the new version of MO Bottomland. I thinks the base is critical especially when leaves begin to pop and shadows come into play.
