After reading this post I can't make up my mind to buy a ghillie suit or jeans and t-shirts.... hmmmm.....
Since no one asked me for my opinion this is what I think! I know you can kill deer in jeans and a hoodie sweatshirt. I have done it on some of the most pressured hunting land in VA.
BUT! From what I have read on here from FAR away camo is no good. It just turns into a blob. What about up close? If a deer can see contrasting colors and Im wearing a camo pattern that helps a little then why not wear it? Now I agree deer key in on movement but I have been spotted by deer without moving a muscle. I was wearing camo and if they spotted me in camo then they would have spotted me jeans too. I think the only way to completely HIDE from a deer is too be in a blind, be in a ghillie suit and be motionless, be in a tree stand and hope the deer doesn't look up, or burry yourself in leaves (even though it would be hard to get a shot). I think there are too many variables to say one way or the other that camo does or doesn't work. MHO is that SOME of it works to a degree good enough to help. Which one works best? WHO CARES? I already have my hunting clothes and they are camo, warm, and water proof! I kill deer in them and they make me happy when I put them on cause I know I am going hunting!!!!!!!!! WOOOO!!!!!
