I agree with mez. patterns look great upclose but the open stuff works awesome at distances where others seem to "blob" up. I have used natural gear for years and have had many deer just stare past me because they don't recognize me as a predator because my outline is so muted. I actually bought some military bdu's this year and love them. I wish I could get the digital camo in scent lock though. I also like the vertigo and the mossy oak treestand patterns. Anything with lots of light and dark areas seem to work best for my style of hunting.
