Camo is for hunters, and has little if nothing to do with an animal spotting you. Hunters enjoy getting dressed up in camo and the self-confidence boost it gives them feeling like they are "invisible". Other than that, it has little practicle value. I dress up also, i guess it is just expected, but i am much more concerned with my movement than with the latest 'must-have' camo git up. I have been and always will be a function over form kind of hunter. I like multiple useful pockets, warmth, confort etc. How the camo looks is the least of my concerns. I remeber a few years ago a buddy and I making a long climb out of a canyon over a ridge and on to a logging road. As we walked down the road their was some dude in a Ghillie suit. As we approached we could smell the cow urine he liberally sprayed all over his suit. we talked with him briefly and he said he was stalking some bulls he heard in the canyon, we related that it was us down there much to his sheepish disappointment.As we walked away we couldn't help but chuckle to ourselves. I wear tennis shoes when bowhunting elk, and for those who also bowhunt elk they know why i do. I cannot imagine running up the mountain trying to get in front of a bull wearing a Ghillie suit, it is a comical thought.
