I like original Mossy Oak Breakup in the beginning of the season and Mossy Oak Obsession as it gets greener. Hoping I can hunt some outside the blind again this year, if not then my favorite camo is black.

Greenleaf.  Although I broke out my ole Mossy oak treestand overalls for mushroom hunting today.  Killed a few with that camo.

ASAT Vanish Pro Leafy Wear

Not aesthetically pleasing to the human eye, but man has it ever proven itself time and again in the field.

Military issued woodland camo pants (am I dating myself by admitting that?)

Some kind of off-brand pull-over top called Smokey Branch

If it's raining, Sitka's Subalpine

My 100% handmade, deerhide thermal thong. For those chilly days. Actually I like the new bottomland, but aint scared to wear whatever. Have killed a few in 30 year old Spartan made realtree camo. And just this winter someone bought me a nifty merino wool pullover in some new realtree pattern that looks like it will work. I personally won't send a dime realtree's way if I can help it, but since I didnt pay for it I ain't against wearing it. Movement is more critical than the brand of camo but it definitely can help. That's my opinion anyways.

My favorite camo pattern is new bottomland. Ive been wearing it exclusively since its been available. I wear it for everything deer and turkey. I don't have to worry about changing seasons as its not an actual pattern of anything..just simply lines, shadowing and colors. It works decent in just about any situation. Its slowly become kind of a "bro" camo....but I don't care. I was wearing it long before it was cool.

Mostly black but I hunt from a blind. When not I like Bottomland

Post by: Gooserbat on April 12, 2020, 08:22:56 AM
Any of it works.  I try to for the most part match the area where I'm hunting and I don't like really dark camo.  Bottomland, realtree edge, and natgear some of my favorites.

I lucked up about a month ago and found a leafy suit on EBay for $40 like brand new.   I'm still wearing my original, but now I have a back up.

Mossy Oak Bottom land on top and breakup or breakup infinity on bottom.

Couldn't care less what camo pattern I'm wearing. Whatever I grab. Sometimes that includes thin solid khaki colored pants when it gets hot. Camo is the most overrated and overly worried about thing in hunting.

X2 , my first year hunting in Missouri i came upon a local guy with blue Jean bib overalls and green colored flannel shirt with work boots on and single barrel shotgun and he had one of the biggest turkeys I've every seen carrying it over his shoulder. I new then camo didn't really matter ..

New bottomland.

It's all preference. Finding a good hiding spot and sitting still will always trump camo patterns. I just like the way bottomland looks.

I think camo is slightly more effective with turkeys and ducks than deer and other big game. However, I've started replacing my camo with muted solid colors when pieces wear out. I do other outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, backpacking, etc....Gets old keeping separate (and expensive) gear in a camo and in regular colors. So I'm replacing pieces as they wear out with higher quality stuff that I'll use for everything while owning less actual clothes/stuff.

I always wear leafy pants and greenleaf or original bottomland tops and hat mask gloves.

It really breaks you up in the hardwoods sitting against a tree.

If I don't take my 3'x9' cut-out camo netting screen which I set up in front of me, I wear a leafy camo cut-out suit. Any light or dark color pants/shirt under that will suffice as I wait in my ground lounger for a gobbler to spy my jake and hen decoy set up.

Greenleaf and original bottomland. I've got some new bottomland but I like the contrast of dark and light colors of the old school patterns.

Like them all until they start fading after a couple washings.

But as a pattern old and new Bottomland is hard to beat.

Durn you, I was gonna say that.  :TooFunny:

I honestly never give it much thought.  I actually have some under armor Chesapeake in Mossy oak obsession for a top when it is warm.  Bought it on sale on eBay, a size large.  It is a very cool shirt on those warm days.  I bought some on the cheap and gave them as Christmas presents to the turkey hunters in my family.  Kind of embarassing when my son in law and brother and I went hunting and were all wearing the same shirt.  We stopped in to get something to eat and noticed it.  Made us look like some kind of fishing team or something.  LOL.  Pants are either Wrangler camo, some mil surplus my son bought for me or dark brown Wolverine cotton pants.

I think camo is designed to catch they eye of the consumer more than not the eye of turkey. I grab what ever fits try to keep it drab during early season and green it up a little as the foliage comes in.

Original Bottomland just because it works no matter what time of the year. Plus, it's the nostalgia of it! Also greenleaf. I'm like a drug addict when it comes to those two patterns. I gotta have em and I can't get enough! Ha!

Depends on what i have sprayed with sawyers tick spray, but I like the original Advantage pants and a Mossy oak Bottomland top.  as It greens up I prefer Mossy oak greenleaf, Realtree Xtra Green, Realtree Hardwoods Green,   Been looking at a Elimitick set of camo.

Nat-Gear and then anything that is light or faded, seems to blend better than dark colors.

I thought realtree max 5 works well early in wisconsin. Some dark, some dead grass for field edges and dead undergrowth which there's a lot of around here
Title: Re: Camo pattarn
Post by: Borsy on April 23, 2020, 06:23:18 PM
Realtree Xtra Green. I really thought they had a winner with that one. Wish they wouldn't have discontinued it so quickly. Seems to blend perfectly with the hardwoods+green up of early spring IMO.

Post by: Jturnblad on April 25, 2020, 02:31:21 AM
I wear under armor green forest green breakup pants and lacrosses bottomland boots. Up top it's eithe original bottomland or Mossy Oak Obsession depending on where I may be. Same for hats and face masks.
Title: Re: Camo pattarn

Original Bottomland for early season. Then I switch to the New NWTF Obsession as it gets green.

I think this is probably true. The main thing is to stay still. Having said that, Realtree Xtra for the most part.
