I think that NOT BEING BUSTED BY MOVEMENT is number one, no questions asked. However, lets say you are still-hunting and are in open timber and you are spotted by a deer while holding tight. REGARDLESS of what you are wearing (assuming the deer is in familiar territory), the deer is going to notice that SOMETHING is out of place, and will check you out thoroughly. Now, one thing is for sure, is that they are not going to mistake you for a Real Tree, lol. But if you are wearing solid clothing (or camo that looks solid from more than a few yards away), I feel like the deer are MUCH more likely to make you out as a HUMAN than they would be if you were wearing camo that actually BREAKS UP YOUR OUTLINE (ASAT, Predator).
You're not really going to find a set of hunting worthy clothes without camo for any less than you can buy a cotton pair of ASAT bibs and jacket. Call me silly, but if I'm spending the money to stay warm, etc anyway, I might as well spend it on something that has a better chance of breaking up my outline than not.
That's a good point, I don't believe a deer can see the patten on your clothes. I do not believe any kind of camo clothing breaks up your outline other than something like a ghillie suit and it's not because of the color it's because it is constructed in a way to hide your outline and blend into your natural surroundings. Your outline is your outline no matter what clothes you have on. Blending into your surroundings is the only way to go undetected UNLESS the deer are not paying attention. I think I will get some Sponge Bob pj's and film myself killing a deer in them with a bow at 20 yrds under natural fair chase conditions. Would you pay to see that? LOL I have to add that camo only makes US think we are hid!
Live it up! Doug
