ORIGINAL: sjsfire

Well the deer I've shot didn't really mind my Hardwoods pants and my Mossy Oak coat. Of course that was under my blaze orange vest and hat.It's just asimportant to watch your movement than what you wear
I went out scouting the week before my season and wore my full blaze orange with plain blaze orange jacket and hat (break-up orange isn't allowed in Iowa) to try to see if I had de-scented enough. I had 3 does and 4 fawns walk within 20 yards of where I was sitting on the ground. 2 fawns and a doe looked right at me and we did the whole freeze and stare at each other for 10 min thing until they got bored and went back to what they were doing. They never spooked and walked nearly a complete circle around me before slowly walking off.

Based on that and several other experiences, I would say scent control and minimizing movement are fare more important than any camo money can buy.
