What camo is everyone wearing?
We are generally curious to see what camo everyone wears or if you don't wear it at all.
Thanks for letting us join the discussion.

I’m a Skre guy!! Great bang for your buck. Still rocking the original Mt Stealth, but would love to get some Summit soon!

I'm employing a mix and match strategy of lower cost camo.

I don't have the budget for a vast array of high end camo for all seasons. I tend to layer up using combinations of the base layers, fleece, and vests that I already own and use for many things throughout the year. Then a look for camo that I can wear over the top all season long by adjusting the layers underneath to stay comfortable in whatever temps I'm dealing with. A ghillie suit has been great for this purpose. Is provides good camo and can be worn over anything.

A mix of Optifade Open Country from Sitka and Kuiu Vias.

I wear primarily Sitka because of the fit and finish, quality.

personally I don’t think camo is all that important. I do like the brown, grey and green solids.

Mostly Optifade EVII. Also some misc items I got from Cabelas in TrueTimber Strata. I fall in the camp that believes camo is likely not super important. I pick based on the quality of the item and my favorite looking pattern. As a fisherman, we have a saying that the lure is made to catch the fisherman. That's basically how I feel about camo as well.

I wear mossy oak old camo and have probably had the same pair of coveralls for 15 years. When it is colder outside I wear my insulated coveralls that have a brown camo pattern called skyline. I also have some old brown predator camo and a leafy poncho from Ameristep. It must work good because II missed two deer this past season with my recurve while sitting on the ground.

Predator "Fall Gray" and "Deception Browning" depending on what time of Year! As well as ASAT. Works best for me in my Ladder Stands as the deer rarely see me that is what Counts for Me!
Don't see the Need for Any Others since these WORK! Been Using them for 20 Plus Years Now, If Not Broke Do Not See to Fix what is Not Broken! Some mention have not been around, those that have only come out in the last maybe 10 Years - some mentioned Above! As Predator has been Around for a very long time...

I go the mimic blend in route. Being in the palmetto river bottoms, we operate close. For me, realtree max 5, realtree edge, and the newer issue Navy digital all blend without that 80 yds blobbing.
I am a slip'r, a ghost. Don't want even non target deer or other hunters to see me.

Woodland Digi Multicam BDU's

$70 for a top/bottom set that last a really long time and I layer underneath...less than some guys pay for socks lol


The buck I shot this year, was looking directly at me after making his way down wind of me. I had drawn on him on the left side of my tree, he moved too quickly through my shooting lane and got down wind, I had to let down and by the time I got moved to the other side of the tree he was already looking directly at me...18 yards away, I drew my bow, settled the pin, and shot him, he never moved a muscle till the arrow hit him.

Is that the Camo? Who knows...but it definitely didn't spook him.

Been running kuiu verde out west for the past 3 seasons now, it took me a while to pull the trigger on expensive hunting clothes but man I’m glad I did, it makes hunts much more enjoyable when you’re comfortable.
