These stories are neat, but don' t mean much! I' ll give you a neat story... About 35 years ago, when nobody wore camo (at least I never saw any), I was squirrel hunting and had my springer spaniel with me. I broke up a flock of turkeys early into the hunt. My dog proceeded to chase them up the hill I was on and had them flying everywhere, landing in trees that were far apart. Since I always had my turkey call with me, I went to the top of the hill and started calling. I had turkeys all around me starting to come towards me. I still had my dog with me, so I crouched low to the ground and held my dog' s collar. It was the first of October and the leaves were just starting to turn. 95% were green. My dog was 45 lb and black and white. I was wearing a bright red hunting vest and a red cap. I had 12 turkeys that had just been scared by me and chased by my dog, walk within about 8 feet of us. My dog was panting from the running and the warm day and
there was no cover at all around me. My dog and I were in plain view. Not one of them ever saw myself or my dog. Now, I could tout the advantages of wearing bright red vests and cap, and encourage everyone to bring a dog with them if they want to get turkeys real close, but no one would believe me. The point is, turkeys are some of the dumbest animals that we hunt. They have great eyesight and can become unbelievably wary, but at times they are dumb as a doornob. Stuff happens no matter what you' re wearing.

Since then camo has become the rage and I' m wearing it too. However, there is no way that it has affected by hunting to any significant degree. I had deer within a couple feet of me 35 years ago, and I have them doing the same today. In my opinion, it has far more to do with my hunting tactics, then with the clothing I' m wearing.
