Each year guys some sweat the perfect pattern. It doesn't matter guys. Turkeys walk up to lots of things that don't match or aren't camoflauged even close. Ask any blind guy how easily they approach an even fresh blind that doesn't match the cut corn they're in.
Anyway something to think about.

Agreed it is not a have to have item. It does help some though.

I agree it does help some. Just not to the extent some worry about it.

Its all personnel preference. I believe I look the coolest in new bottomland.

I've started wearing more leafy suits which makes the pattern it's self unrecognizable.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Years ago I wore a brown chore coat, work pants and a brown hat and gloves. Never had a problem with getting close to turkeys or archery deer if I stayed absolutely still and set up in a good location.
I do believe that camo does help, but staying still and setting up in a good location is necessary.

Nothing like having a little extra protection with things don't go as planed.

If camo really mattered the big highfalutin camo companies and hunting clothing manufacturers like Under Armour, Nomad, Realtree, Mossy oak, just to name a few ,  wouldn't put neon yellow,green, pink,  blaze orange logo's, highlight's, accents, pin striping all over there clothes. I've never understood there reasoning for that.

Camo isn't that big of a deal , patience's and knowing how to play the game with the right cadence. Sometimes  all of this doesn't help and you get to try another day ... It's just turkey hunting ...

Grandpa may have wore plaid and overalls but many times that is all he had.  Can you kill any game without camo, of course.  Camo just helps to cut outlines and helps break down on seeing movement.  No matter what you wear you have to sit still but you have to sit a little more still without the camo.  Most people these days do not have the patience to sit as still as Grandpa did.  I bet many of those Grandpa's would have loved to have a little more camo so they could have had a bit more advantage on their side.
