Yes I think that moving away from photo-realistic patterns is the way to go. Multicam is the best pattern that I have seen but it is an average across so many different backgrounds that it is necessarily always a compromise. If you hunt primarily in high contrast deciduous woodland you are almost always better off wearing classic British woodland DPM
