Most of my 40 plus years of chasing turkey, whatever pattern happened to be in my size on the clearance rack.

Oddly enough, I use predator fall brown for the spring woods. Also Asat.
There's something much different in the eyes and body language when a bird/deer looks at me when I wear those patterns. The difference in reaction certainly has built my confidence.

Usually some mix of natgear and mossy oak, whatever isn't wet that day.

I chuckled and realized every pair of camo pants I own was bought on sale except a pair of Ol Tom that are my favorite pair.  Shirts?  I've often paid full price, but not pants.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Mix and match. Totally depends on temperature and how many leaves are out. Old bdu pants and an old mossy oak leafy top a lot of the time. I've also killed them in carhart bibs and an old real tree jacket. Killed a bow bird years ago wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. As long as your sitting still and reasonably blended in it doesn't really matter

Old Woodland pattern I wear it all the way up in late archery/muzzy season.

Realtree AP. Blends in about as well as anything where I hunt.

8-10 years ago, I bought pants/shirt in Mossy Oak brush on clearance at Academy. Killed many turkeys in that suit, and it seemed to blend in really well. Last winter, I found some more on clearance and bought 5 suits.. I wear it early season and switch to Obsession or green leaf later in the year.. 

Nothing matches the ground and the base of a tree early season better than Mossy Oak Brush IMO..

I mix and match a lot. My old stuff is advantage and various mossy oaks....as I have bought new stuff...I have bought first lite and use their gear because of the fit and function. I like their fusion. However, I also wear alot of solid khaki and OD green pants with a leafy suit up top. Drab colors in general. I sometimes hunt in drab solids up top as well and I really can't tell that it has made me less effective.

This year I'll be wearing Specter and Cipher from First Lite. However my all time favorite is Mossy Oak Forest Floor. Wish they'd bring that back out!!

spring gobbler hunted for 7/8 years before I ever owned any camo and then it was the old woodland camo and ever since, it's been mix & match. I do prefer the lighter colors even in the fall.

Mostly bottomland with a mix of Mossy Oak Obsession
