Well I got bored the other day and figured I'd take some picture of some of my Camo. Each set was taken at 10,20, and then 30 yards. The first picture is just a zoom in.

Mossy oak top seemed to be harder to see out of the bunch.

:agreed:
I killed more game when I was 16 wearing blue jeans and a red flannel shirt. Must admit I was less selective then. I think movement is what gets you busted no matter what you wear. Did like your photos. :icon_thumright:
Those are really cool pics. Interesting. Original bottomland to me seemed to win that hands down. All of them will work but in so happy they finally are running it again in production and I never understood why it went away

Money. Biggest reason they change most things.
Whatever the darker stuff is(Bottomland)..or Old school trebark or when it greens up surplus woodland.....has my vote...(everything's full circle..hope the pants hanging dang near to the ground crap don't make a come back though).. ;D.
Interesting....never thought of doing that but kind of a good idea.
Unless a tom catches you moving, any one of those patters will work. I think the last one has a little too much white for having your back against a tree, but it still does a good job of breaking up your outline.
Mossy Oak Country early season for sure!
Someone has way to much free time..

My thoughts too. Bet his garage is very well organized.
That's an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.
To me, they all seemed to start to blend in at 20 yards and out. However, the Fall predator camo seemed to have too much white and did not blend in as well. As it was mentioned, this pattern is best suited for treestand hunting, not ground.
Kudos to you for doing this. When I am bored, I plop down on the couch and get on my computer :welcomeOG:...

I agree that motion/movement is what the turkeys pick up on (waterfowl are another story)...
However, a camouflage patterns that blends better and has less contrast to the surroundings will mask movement better. Dark green camouflage against a light brown background will contrast more, and make it far more easy to discriminate motion.
And also, remember that turkeys have more photoreceptors than we do... The are able to discriminate colors and wavelengths that are invisible to us... I have no idea how to translate that into what the birds see, but I do believe in using non-UV detergent to wash my hunting clothes...
To the OT: The original Bottomland combination looked pretty good to me.
Movement will get you busted regardless of what kind of camo you wear. On the other hand, military woodland fatigues work great for turkey hunting as long as you don't move. Turkeys don't care about fashion or marketing gimmicks.

It prolly took me as much time to snap these pictures as it did for you to find this thread. With over 2000 posts it looks like you have a good bit of free time yourself there ol buddy.
