Camoflage is basically a waste of money for open-range rifle hunters...deer can' t see for crap in the day, they can detect movement extremely well, but they won' t just pick your outline out at 100+ yrds. I bought all of my cammo for Bowhunting, and tend to wear it rifle hunting because I take short range weapons sometimes(handguns or short range cartridges), or just because they are the warmest clothes I have, but the cammo pattern on them I don' t think helps me any...I used to hunt wearing blue jeans and an orange sweater, or tan coveralls with orange vests, and I hunted by this motto, What you wear doesn' t matter, because by the time they see you, they' re heart' s already stopped beating. Just don' t move a lot and they can' t see you at long ranges, but you' re high powered rifle can reach out and bag them with no problem.

In the woods, it makes a lot of difference though, when you have to get in closer than 100yrds, cammo is a necessity, I really like leafy wear, or ghillie suits<---very heavy though, and kind of hard wearing, but VERY EFFECTIVE and warm. If you don' t like ghillies, or can' t afford a leafy suit, you can do like I do, I usually " ghillie-up" and " veg-out" my regular cammo quite a bit before hunts, using some naturals too. If you' re really worried about your big orange flat screen on your chest/back, there are a number of things you can do to break it up. You just have to have 100 sq.in. in KS, so if you have a full orange vest on, tacking on a couple leaves and some thick yarn/cord to look like branches/twigs, or simply painting a stick-camo design on helps break up that solid blob, add some ghillie pins (3-6 strips of brown, black, grey, green fabric an inch-2" wide and ~14" -18" long folded in half and secured with a safety pin), and some cord and maybe add some swatches of fabric to look like leaves, or real leaves, and you' re more than good to go. My set up works well enough my buddies can' t even find me when I' m in my blinds, when they helped me build them!!
