Title: Which camo
Post by: irishff727 on March 14, 2013, 01:41:48 PM
I am sure this has been discussed before and probably in great extent. But I was having a convo with a hunting buddy the other day. He only wears max 4 for everything doesn't matter if turkey or deer or hog and whatever. I do applaud his dedication to one pattern but this year when deciding what to buy I looked at a ton of patterns and came up with what I thought was a good combo. Bottom land pants feels it goes well with hiding my legs with the trees I have mothwing spring mimicry vest which i feel is good cause I the leafy texture and has good colors I went with a obsession shirt and obsession buff and finally a bottom land hat. So just curious of you guys have combos u use. Maybe several different types for the area your hunting or for different set up. I had a buddy who bought a basic gillie suit and when he sits up against a tree he seems to stick out like a sore thumb. Looks like a big green blob in front of a tree.

I prety much use natgear for everything.  When it's green I use the SCII patern.

I wear whatever I grab. Don't care much what it looks like. Mix and match.

I picked up a bunch of the old Mossy Oak shadow branch pants at $5 a pair a few years back.  Some have been patched and stitched, as I wear them whenever I hunt.  I mix and match whatever shirts I have with these.  I like to match, but buy whatever I find on sale.  I'm a firm believer that being still is more important than camo pattern.

I'm mossy oak bottomland all the way except for my vest, it's obsession ( they don't make the Tat'r 2 in bottomland ). My favorite pattern was mossy oak's shadow leaf, but they don't make it anymore. I don't know if it will pan out to be true or not but a birdie told me they may be making another run of the greenleaf. I wish they could bring back all the old stuff. However you can blend in perfectly but start moving your rear end and you're gonna get busted.

I mix and match Obsession and Bottomland. Again, I don't really think one brand or type camo works better than others. Staying still is the main thing, in my opinion.

I have about every type of camo and rarely match tops and bottoms.

Max-4 is a waterfowl camo , but its great for hunting near fields-- I like it plus the MO Duck Blind

honestly just about  any camo will do as long as it has staggered earthtones etc... - sit still , throw a little foliage in front of you like a branch or brush limb and rest your gun on you knee and your in business

Natgear SCII, Realtree APG, and break up.  I do like the look of bottom land, though.

im wearing alot of whatever i have right now. some hand me downs, good deals and whatever else that me and my father have. some breakup, advantage, obsession, etc.

i really like the advantage for fall hunting.
i like the obsession for alot of green. the apg and xtra look decent too, but not as green.
i really like the bottom land as well.

im a believer in not moving vs camo though

Whatever is on sale! I don't think it makes a lot of difference as long as it helps break up your profile. I think almost every kind I see looks really good and will do the job.

Bottomland early and obsession late season. I also wear shadow leaf a good bit, wish they still made it and Greenleaf.

The old  bottomland and treestand. Wish I would have Bought All they had back then. Of course I've gained 40 pouds since then and it woundn't fit, but would be great motivation for a diet.

Army digitals and/or Marine desert digitals I brought back with me. Usually start off in the AD's and as everything starts Browning up in the winter I'll switch.

I think whatever a guy likes himself is what he oughta hunt in. I hunt in a pair of just plain green North Face pants & it works fine. They are comfortable, quiet & dry quick. I grab whatever camo shirt or top that fits the weather at the time. Most camo, to me, at almost any distance looks like a blob anyway.

ASAT leafy suit is what I normally wear.
