Looking for a new camo pattern (my realtree hardwoods is getting harder to find). I found this Realtree MAX4HD and its kind of growing on me. Reminds me alot of ASAT with the color contrasts and I dont see it blobbing. Without throwing in your opinions of what I SHOULD get, how do you think this would work for both treestand and natural groundblind hunting in a mix of upland oak, hickory, maple hardwood forest/cropland? I know its techincally a waterfowl pattern but I like it!

It'd be plenty fine for your purposes.

As long as you havegood background cover, you could almost get away with using MNpurple....

That should work just fine in a natural ground blind but in a stand I think you might want to go with something with a more open pattern.

I agree. The colors are similar to those of ASAT, but not nearly as open. I suppose if your hunting early fall when there are a lot of leaves still on the trees, it would work. It doesn't look like a very good all round camo.

With that said, sometimes I, along with many others, overthink camo.
