Assuming camo works , what pattern would you recommend? They have the western pattern on sale. It looks pretty bright/lighter colored. Would that work?

Mossy Oak Break-Up Country:

Realtree XTRA:

Zonz Western:

Zonz Woodlands:

I hunt the NE and I use realtree Xtra. But I don't think there is a real difference. Back cover and not getting skylined. And being still is the most important imo

I like stuff that's on sale. Honestly any camo pattern will work. I hunt in NJ and killed stuff wearing Max-1 camo to a grey and blue Micky mouse hoodie. My buddies would break my balls about the hoodie but after killing a ton of deer they tried to find one for themselves. It's all about playing the wind and watching your movement that more important then any camo pattern. Just find something that will keep you warm and go for it

If I could only pick one it would be realtree as it works well in earlier bow seasons in October through later season. However, in the later seasons where all the leaves have dropped, mossy oak becomes my favorite.

Yep

One is just as good as another with those photo realistic patterns. Buy what will keep you warm and dry. If you want to be invisible to deer, get a 3D leafy suit. I have one from ASAT and one from Gander Mountain, they both work equally well. Unless it's snowy and I'm in my winter whites, I won't hunt without a 3D suit on. You can get away with a little more movement because you're pretty much invisible to the deer. If you play the wind, you're deadly. They really work well.

The two arguments that make the most sense to me regarding camo are that 1) it's unnecessary and being still is all that matters -or- 2) an open pattern like ASAT or Predator will help fool a deer's eyes while the majority of the others just make you look like a blob. I mostly wear ASAT just to be on the safe side.

 

[xdmelarton]

The ASAT 3D leafy suit is a great starter that works over everything. Warning: it is the gateway to buying everything First Lite in ASAT☠

 

[Toadmeister]

Most the MO and RT types can really blob out at a short distance. Forget the nice magazine adds that show them perfectly Photoshopped in a tree!

Doesn't mean they can't work if you are still. Plenty of guys tag a great buck every year wearing them or red pajamas.

When you say NE are you talking Nebraska? Hard to beat Natural Gear and Predator. The ones you mentioned are not very good.

I wear camo almost never now. Brown cargo pants lots of pockets and quiet. Old brown browning long sleeve T when it's cold I do put on a fleece camo top....all washed in water not detergent. Step in cow poop on the way to stand and I'm done. I really don't think it matters where I am, but deer are funny what bothers them in some places may not phase in another. They are used to people we are on a cattle ranch with tons of people working all the time people, trucks etc are just 'pffft whatever' to them.

I'd go with an open pattern like predator or asat. Or use a leafy suit.

 

[LFM]

Predator Fall Gray, Deception Brown and ASAT, Use all three and seems the deer aren't noticing me in my Ladder Stands.

[Toadmeister]

To be honest, I wear camo to fool the neighbors...

None of the poll camo.....ASAT

 

[deadquiet]

Any kind that breaks up your outline.....unless your dressing for the guys at camp.

 

[WYelkhunter]

It doesn't matter

 

[Eric W]

Gray or beige pants and a beige-based plaid flannel shirt.

 

[jmarv]

I've switched to G-Force Evolved camo...It is awesome for in a treestand or on the ground, and the price beats anything else I've found.

Interesting. I'm in FL and it matters not here as well, but we are always up in a tree/shooting house. Are you on the ground much? As long as I stay relatively still I'm good to go. I will admit to winding a bunch of doe on the last day of the season last Feb when I was about to get down. Ripped 2 of the biggest air biscuits of the year that were so bad they made me laugh....downwind and maybe 30 seconds later she raised her nose up and then was blowing at me as she took off. Must have been thinking 'oh no something died in here I'm next!'.
