- - best camo? (https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/bowhunting/278417-best-camo.html)

Looks like the best new camo in the world has jumped on the Natural Gear band wagon...LOL:D[8D]

I knew this thread was going to save me a lot of typing down the road... ;)

I have come to the conclusion that it dont matter. Heck, Bob (aka Rev) shot a buck on my land last Fri. wearing no camo at all. He was in a tree with little to noback ground and had no problem with the deer seeing him. I have done the same. Heck, ive shot more deer with army surplus camo than I have with expensive camo. Its all about breaking up your pattern, and nothing more. Deer have very little cones in their eyes, so color has very little consequence. Since thier eyes are loaded with rods, all you need is to have your pattern broke up and they will not pick you out. Ive set in a field, wearing arm surplus camo, in a folding chair, and had doe after doe walk past me, right out in the open. Deer key on movement more than anything. The situation Im speaking of, the deer would walk about 10 feet from me and do the head thing where they look, then look away real fast, just to look back, to see if I moved. They never picked me out, I guess they just thought i was a funny looking bunch of CRP grass.

The part of the equation left out here iswhether you drew on the animal while you were out in the open and still had it not spook? In all 3 of my situations I listed, I drew, they looked at the movement then dismissed it. Previous to ASAT, I'd get picked out or busted drawing then the game was over. None of that happened since I stated using ASAT.

Thats why I pointed out deer respond to motion. And you are right, I never drew on any of the deer I mentioned. I was out watching the deer because I was shooting yotes. I would never draw on any animal looking my way no matter how good I felt my camo was.;)

They where probably right:D

What about the Intrusion camo you have been wearing? How do you compare that to Predator?

i shot 4 deer this year with my bow, all nice fat does. i was wearing mossy oak breakup on three of them and a blue sweatshirt and jeans on the fourth. i like the realtree advantage, but im sold on the breakup. asking the best camo is like asking the best dog breed, there is no right or wrong answer. it is more about being still and having the wind right, then about the camo.
