Default Mossy Oak or Realtree

Ok Guys lets see what's the Best Camo in Your Opinion.
Im a Mossy Oak Guy, I Buy Mossy Oak whenever I can, I just Love It, I wont get into ALL the Different Patterns for each one as there's so many, but wich do you prefer?
It just Kills Me when I find a Pair of Rubber Insulated Boots and Gore Tex Pants that fit Me when the only style they offer is Real Tree ( SORRY Bill Jordan) You make a Great Camo but I Like Mossy Oak.
I know it should'nt matter but even though Im a Mossy Oak Man I had to Buy a Pair of Gore Tex Hunting Pants that were in My size and they were RealTree (Advantage Timber) the Mossy Oaks ones just would'nt fit. My Rubber Insulated 2000gr Thinsulate Boots are also Realtree (APHD), again the only one's in My Size. But what really takes the Cake is My CVA ACCURA's Stock is also Camoed in Realtree (APG). Everything else I Buy is Mossy Oak and it just makes Me Mad that I cant be all 100% Mossy Oak. Is Real Tree the Preferred Camo??? either way Im still a Mossy Oak Man.
What's You're Favorite Camo?

As far as the animals are concerned I don't believe it makes any difference.
When I am hunting trespassers or poachers I prefer Mossy Oak, it blends better in tis part of the country when colored vision is involved.

I agree with You Lee on tha part that the Animals cant tell the Difference as I can be on the ground and be within feet of Turkeys and Deer and as long as I dont move they wont see me reguardless of what Im wearing, and it's even if Im wearing Blaze Orange or a Business Suit. But to just be outfitted in a Camo, Mossy Oak just looks Better.

Lee, what's the limit on trespassers and poachers in your neck of the woods?
For deer I don't think camo is as critical as it is for turkey. Something that breaks up your outline and is not overly contrasting is good enough. ASAT camo is ugly but very effective, as is Predator camo.
Lately, for treestand hunting I prefer Mossy Oak Treestand (works well on the ground too when the trees are light colored (white oak, black birch, etc). On the ground in darker timber I like Realtree All Purpose.

Voted other as I seldom wear camo. I usually hunt with just the same dark colored clothing (dark brown/green/gray) I work in. Most of my deer hunting is in archery season and most of the deer I kill are under 20 yards.

For turkey hunting it's a different story, though. For that I wear black and sit inside a pop-up blind with the black interior.

I prefer the look of realtree as far as the green stuff goes. But anything open-country sagebrush style is my top choice... it sends a message to all the green-camo guys

An old beat up red and black plaid coat/jacket works just as good, and you don't look like rambo.
