I agree camo patterns can certainly be situational, and even work better than others with blue skies, gray skies, no foliage, full foliage, on the ground, up in trees, in a blind, etc.I have been reading allot of research and litterature regardinghow things will change through retinas the way animals and humans percieve dichromatic and trichromatic vision during different lighting conditions as well as during different seasons. Bottom line is I think we are all learning when certain patterns will out perform others. Im not sure there is a "best" camo pattern for every situation, but there are certainly some that work very well in allotof huntingsituations or conditions.
