RE: Poll on camo
How 'bout this:
I just hung my stand yesterday (opener here in MI isn't till OCT1) and I decided to "stick around" and just see how it felt. Sure enough, an 8 point came strolling up the hedgerow, right to my funnel, and walked right up my shooting lane and passed under my tree.
Now- I was wearing faded blue jeans, a Wilson basketball shirt and sneakers. Not to mention I was covered in sweat from clearing limbs and also had a healthy dose of mosquito repellant on. I'm convinced that it does'nt matter much what your pattern is, but if you are perfectly motionless, you just might get buy with almost anything.
I know if I had to draw on this guy, or tried to move around, he probably would have spotted me asap, but I am amazed at what happened none-the-less. Really makes me question the $200 camo systems...
