Default What Camo do you use??? Scent Eliminator?

Ok...I know this has been asked probably a thousand times, but I can't find it, so here it is again.

What camo do you like or use most often? Realtree, ASAT, Predator, Enigma, Natural Gear, Under Armor, or something else?

Do you use scent eliminating camo or not, such as Scent-Lok or Scent Blocker? Or does that stuff actually work at all?

3D or not?

I am fairly new to bowhunting, just a few years under my belt, and I need some input about camo. What works in the field not just at the store?

Thanks for your help,
Andrew

I use Predator Camo in the Green Deception for early season and Brown Deception for when the leaves are falling off the trees! Snow Camo for the Late Season when there is snow on the ground! I do not use the Scent Blocker/Scent Loc stuff, I am a firm believer in being scent free, as in shower, clothing wash etc...

I use mostly woodland camo, mixed with whatever is on sale cheap. I use the scent eliminator wash and the spray-on stuff.

Predator Fall Gray, Predator Spring Green, RT.

I've tried the X-scent base layers(pants, shirt, socks) this season and I really like them. Not too expensive and I am convinced it helped me see more deer up close this season. Still nothing beats using the wind.

Switched all my camo to Cabela's Outfitter camo this year. Make my own scent killer or use the cheapest stuff I can find.

Realtree Hardwoods and baking soda.
Natural Gear and baking soda.
ASAT and baking soda.

The brand of descenting spray I buy varies, but always contains baking soda, plus I use baking soda in the rinse cycle.
