Question Cotton or Polyester Camo?

I will be bowhunting this year in early season and pre-rut season. September is usually somewhat warm, and October is starting to get near freezing (but nothing like winter).

Anyway I was thinking of getting a long-sleeve camo shirt, camo pants and a light camo jacket (if it gets too cold). I can picture mostly hunting in the shirt and pants. I was also thinking of picking up a bowhunter ghillie suit to break up my outline.

Anyway I noticed when I where cotton shirts vs synthetic shirts there is quite a difference and camo clothing comes in both. Synthetic shirts are good for keeping cool and dry, but they start to stink really bad from use.....even if I still smell good! Then you have to wash in baking soda to get the smell out. Cotton is softer and likes to retain moisture, but it does breath more and doesn't do the weird stink thing that poly does.

By this are there any considerations I need to make for material type when buy camo (and no I am not looking to by a carbon suit)?

Thank you.
