Last year I killed a nice 8 point from 10 feet on a field edge, what was i wearing? carhart brown. the year before i was hanging a tree stand in blue jeans and fighting illini sweatshirt, when i finished i sat there for a few minutes and had 2 does within bow range. i know a guy who took a brown sleeping bag with him one very cold morning and shot a deer from a fence row. i still buy camo, because i think it can help a little bit, but i buy the clothing first, not the camo. are the new camo's any better than the camo of 10 years ago? probably not. which is better, MOBU or realtree? who knows.

personally i do not like atificial shadows on my clothing, it makes it look too dark. it is next to impossible to even see any natural shadows on an overcast day, so why would i want my clothing to be half-black? As far as i am concerned, as long as you do not have any big areas of solid color, and have earth tones, you should be fine.

just because you are a beginner, don't get caught up in the hype. i've seen very few accessories(not basics, like a GOOD bow, footwear, rifle...) but accessories that actually make you a better hunter.

Expirience is the absolute best tool you can ever have in the woods. period.
