I mainly use Predator(like ASAT), Natural Gear(Natgear) and ASAT for my camo patterns.
I've had SEVERAL close encounters wearing ASAT that I know it works to the point where if someone told me it didn't work, I'd about fall down laughing. It works and I think because it does so well in breaking up the outline both in shape and color. I've killed many deer with compound/recurve from the ground wearing ASAT and know it doesn't blob into a solid pattern or which I think attracts visual attention.
I think many realize you can wear whatever color you want in a treestand and kill the wisest buck or lead doe. Then you can be in the best camo pattern out there and get busted too. LOL! If you match your camo pattern to the specific spot, be low profile, move wisely, reduce your air scent and ground scent and take advantage of any cover you can, all that will increase your camo's effectiveness.
It also depends on the cover in your deerstand, how high up you are, if you're within the deer's peripheral vision and if you can keep your movement down when it comes time to take the shot.
Many variables play out when it comes to using camo and the moment of truth. Using prowess and the not so common sense, you can make yourself more successful in the process of hunting.
