Default Need some advice on camo

Hello,

I have been looking at different camo schemes around the internet and have narrowed it down to these three patterns:

Russian Army Digital Camo- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Russian-Army...-/291630735995

German Flecktarn Camo- http://www.militaryclothing.com/acu-...tarn-camo.aspx

Kryptek Mandrake- http://www.kryptek.com/kryptek-camo-patterns/

Which camo pattern would you recommend that I get? If you have another camo pattern you used and works well, feel free to recommend it. I'm still open to other camos.

I use 3D camo now - color to match the area in which I'm hunting.

Any camo pattern that breaks up the human form and is fairly close to the foliage in the area you are hunting will do the job. Dark in that type of area when all the leaves are still on and lighter in areas where there is less dark foliage.

I am not sure where you live so I will try to cover a lot here. I recommend finding the type of clothing to keep you warm and dry depending on what kind of temperatures you hunt in. Then pick the best camo that suits you in the those warm and dry selections. Movement will give you away faster than camo can hide you so being able to sit comfortably and still for long periods of time is of the most importance.

I like to layer myself, a good quality base layer or two in black, green, or brown to save on cost from a camo pattern. I will wear un-insulated camo pants and long sleeve shirt over that. Then I can add camoflauge insulated pants, vests and jackets or rain gear and keep layering up until I can sit in any condition. I like to mix match Mossy-Oak and Realtree patterns for dark and lighter tones. These patterns are easy to find in many different types of clothing. The selection you mentioned may make it hard to create an all weather wardrobe.

I do like the Kyrptic patterns myself but only have a hat in that pattern.

X2!!!!
Camo is way over-rated! Move= You lose!
That said, match the colors to the terrain that you are hunting and just be very careful with your movement and you will be OK!

Where are you hunting? I hunt in the South here there are a lot of Pines and I use Kings Mountain Shadow which looks just like the environment down here.

Amen "Jagman" ...... there is little doubt that a "woodsy" color scheme helps cut the outline of a hunter. But you can be fully cammoed up and make the wrong move at the wrong time and you'll be busted. Besides if "no cammo" made that much difference I would never see, much less kill, a white tail deer because I am going to the deer woods wearing a blaze orange vest.

camo is way over rated, I personally think its more about making a person FEEL more like there camo's and a hunter, than its needed to hunt, I have killed countless critters of all likes without it, and I have sadly thousands of dollars in camo too LOL

way more important to watch your movements, and your scent, hunt the wind

untill someone can actually look thru the eye's of a deer and KNOW what and how exactly they see, its all, marketing gizzmo's and clothing!

I'd personally rather gave quality clothing that is quieter and warm and dry, and care less about what camo finish is on the outside of it??

as for camo, buy what YOU like and gives you more confidence!
