Default RE: Camo, who doesn't use it?

For years I wore simple brown canvas coveralls for deer hunting, to great results. Of course, the tan canvas matched the grasses well, so it kinda was camo...but I also hunted a couple seasons when it was rather warm only wearing a t-shirt and bluejeans. My cousin that started me deer hunting said it best, "with a rifle, by the time they can see you, they were already dead, if not, you wasted time."

As for bow hunting, I always wear camo, if not a ghillie suit, just because you're getting them into range where they can not only see you, but see you with crystal clarity.

For riflery, I always wear it, but I don't think it's really necessary. Unless you're hunting in an area where you can't see deer unless they're right up on you, you don't need it. They aren't going to pick you out at 200 yrds, cuz they can't see that well.

I wear it for rifle hunts for the spirit of the game more than anything, it's not sporting to go out dressed in anything warm, I think you should look like a hunter as much as you are one.

(In all instances rifle hunting the required blaze orange attire was adorned)

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
