Chris,

First, welcome to bow hunting, I'm sure you will find it as addicting as I have over the years. As far as clothing is concerned, it's pretty much a personal choice. If you feel better using 3d suit or scent blocker go for it. You will find those who believe in it and those who don't think it's worth the cash. There are many different camo patterns to choose from as well and again you will hear pro's and con's on all of them.

As for me......I buy what's on sale and in my size (4XL) so I'm not picky. I usually hunt with genuineUS GI BDU pants and shirt in the warmermonths and some kind of waterproof jacket in the colder months to go over my BDU's I like to dress in layers as itgets down righ cold here in Illinois inlate december and January. I like to wear rubber boots, I have two pairs, one un-insulated and the other with 1000 grams of thinsulate for those before mentioned cold months.The main reason why I wear rubber boots is that I hunt near creeks and the rubber boots areslightly higherso it makes crossing themeasier, otherwise I'll wear my regular waterproof hunting boots.

There are a lot of opinions here and really none will be wrong, it's just different for each individual. I hunted many years in solidUS GI "Olive Drab" and never had a problem arrowing deer.

Good luck and welcome aboard
