Poll on camo

Mostly B....not for any other reason other than that is what Cabelas usually carries the most of.
I have a little bit of everything but my two favorites right now are Realtree Xtra Brown for early season when there is still green around and Advantage Timber for the late, regular bow season...both in Saddle Cloth material.

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...

I use Mossy Oak Break Up, Realtree Hardwoods, and Advantage Timber: Any mixed combination of the three but I always mix up my pants & jacket... (I think) it helps to break up my form more if the patterns don't match. The Most important type of camo: the motionless kind.
