Default RE: General Camo discussion

Lots of good camo on the market. I prefer Predator but use RT Hardwoods quite a bit. I've also grown to like my Advantage Timber outfit a lot, but thats mostly due to the fact its a Cabelas rainsuede waterproof outfit thats quiet and can be used in dry weather as well because its so light. As for Mossy Oak its one camo pattern I won't use...just a big blob IMO. I am also a believer that using a headcover or camo makeup for your face is essential. Human skin just isn't a natural color/texture in the woods

But the best camo of all is being still, quiet and downwind. I've taken a few deer from the ground with my bow including 2 Pope and Young bucks, and in late season last year passed up shots at 3 mature does(out of a group of 12 deer) from less than 20 yards, so that a new bowhunter could hopefully take his first deer. We were both set up on the ground......me kneeling beside two medium size trees. Wind was right, I didn't move and kept quiet. All was well until my buddy shot and the herd took off like quail being flushed. By the way my buddy missed.
