i have been taught by some old school hunters and i am a firm believer that a good woodsmen can hunt in street clothes and be successful, that being said i still own a 3D suit and like to keep up with the best and newest innovaitons of hunting. i dont use a camo gun when i do use a gun, my bow is camo. so i think a camo gun might helpa little but if you practice being a good woodsmen it shouldnt matter, on the other hand some people can look like a walking cabelas catologue and just cant seem to make it work. if you think that camo on your gun will build your confidence then go for it, if not than show some of your buddys you can take birds without all the extras.im sure you will have a good hunt either way. good luck
