I think that a good camo has SOMETHING to do with it, but mainly it is yourset up (what is behind you)and knowing when to move. If you are shooting a compound, draw early and wait on them. Do not draw when you have a shot because that means they are in the open and can see you. Draw when their head is behind a tree or a bush or looking the opposite direction. Deer catch movement more than anything. Camo is somewhat of an excuse to look cool, and I am guilty of that too, but being still and only moving at the right time will make you much more successful than a "good" camo. I have used everything from a ghillie suite on down to jeans and a sweatshirt with success, and one thing has always been true... if I move when I am in view, then they see me. Conceal yourself with your environment better and move less.

You may also have excessive movement in your drawing procedure. If you have to lift your arm way up to draw your bow in the stand, let the poundage downor work out so you can draw straight at the deer. This will reduce movement and reduce the chance of being seen.

I hope you get an even bigger one than that 10-point that spooked!
