I find for September Predator really works well. but most anything will work. I also use what is on sale and use AP, predator, and desert shadow.

 

I like prairie ghost. I'm cheap.

 

I like prairie ghost too. It works well out on the plains and in the Breaks. I also will use mossy oak brush too. I don't get too crazy with camo, anything to break up the solid pattern/sillouette/or what have you will work. Remember, your grandfather used to hunt in a flannel shirt and solid colored pants. Im sure he bagged plenty of animals.

 

ASAT, Predator Fall Gray, Optifade and the Kuiu patterns all work well. However, I would find good clothing and not worry too much about the pattern. With that said, Kuiu, Stika and First Light should cover everything you need. Good luck.

 

ASAT :darkbeer:

 

I like sitka optifade. Had a bull look right through me at 30 yards last September. I think any decent camo pattern that's not too dark will work fine though.

 

My top pick is Kuiu Vias. After that, I like Cabelas Microtex

 

You could wear a Santa suit and fine if ya don't move. Patterns are overrated...comfort and body temp management. That said I too prefer Sitka Gear for warm or moderate weather.

 

I disagree...patterns do make a difference in certain circumstances.
Maybe not a huge difference, but enough to plan accordingly.

Once you have had enough super close encounters with critters like Elk and Whitetail, it becomes apparent

 

ASAT or Enigma is what I use. I also have some Kryptek Highlander.

 

King's mountain shadow! I have and use a bit of everything. Max-1, mountain mimicry, kings mountain and desert shadow, realtree AP... AZ is pretty diverse so my clothing collection has to be too!

 

There is no real best pattern for the mountains. Where I hunt you have pines, aspens, oak brush and sage brush all in the same hillside. So no way to match all those environs with one pattern. That being said I where Max-1 and Cabelas outfitter most of the time.

 

The best one is the one which breaks up your head/shoulder outline

 

Kings Desert Shadow, and Kryptek Highlander. I have been wearing Kings Camo for quite awhile, it is fairly inexpensive and durable.

 

Grow your man hair, hunt nekkid

 

I'm a kryptek highlander guy

 

I see you!

 

I dug up this photo of my dad from '87 in Colorado. Little 5x5. He might have had a camo coverall as well. Note the classic PSE trucker hat!

 

I like realtree stuff.

I have used an old camo tex 3d leafy suit I got from cabelas about 15 years ago. I like that allot.
ALso last 3 years Ive been using the digital military surplus camo in any desert(ish) terrain where there is sage and browns and have real good success staying hidden in that.
For anything "west" of the cascades It will be green/brown AP realtree.
Central OR, anything with too much green is too dark. you cal pick off a guy easy wearing too dark of camo as they BLOB out.

This year will be ghille suits and the leafy camo suit.

Deer do not see in color so they say yet they do see into the UV spectrum better than humans by far, thats why they cam run at night and we cannot.

I take a hand held UV (black light) to all my camo, if if glows, it goes! Youd be surprised how many dye's have a UV glow to them. (black light also works great in finding cat, and or dog whiz spots on carpet and funiture as it will glow orange or yellow.

 

ASAT by far.....check out Dayonecamo.com......custom made is best and I have had them all.....like it much better than Sitka, etc.

 

^Beat me to it.

 

In the C4E I like the Mountain Mimicry the best, but the Max-1 is a very close second. Great choice on gear too!

 

It was pretty sweet...
