I wear green, brown, or grey pants and shirt. I usually wear a tan or Multicam hat. Some of my jackets just happen to have camouflage patterns.
So, I guess I don’t wear any specific pattern. ETA: I hunt deer, pigs, small game and turkeys. Rarely, I will go on a bird hunt. |

During bow season, I wear mostly Camo of various brands, including a Brit DPM jacket. I have been getting some of the designer stuff(Kuiu), and it is nice. Waterproof/breathable and very light.

During our gun seasons, we have to wear orange. Hat and vest will do it. I still prefer the bow season for elk, slim chance To bag an elk, but great weather .

Old school pattern called StayStill.
Have killed turkeys while wearing a black jacket, deer while gun hunting wearing blaze orange vest/overalls/Carhartt/white t shirt and jeans, and deer while bow hunting wearing black beanie hat. Snuck up to 50 yards on a bull elk while wearing gray pants, black long sleeve shirt, and blaze orange vest. Camo is cool but hasn't seemed to make or break a hunt for me. That said, a few I like include ASAT and Marpat. UV might be a factor. Wash wool items in shampoo, and other materials in Wildlife Research powder detergent. |

If it's below freezing I just wear my tan Carhartt bibs and jacket, if it's above freezing but cold I wear my tan Carhartt overalls, if it's warm, I wear old school woodland BDUs. I have however, hunted many years in jeans and a dark colored shirt. Honestly, I've tried different "hunting" camos, but they never seem to make much of a difference except for other hunters not seeing me.

Everything from whatever was on sale/clearance/discounted/cheap to earth tone solids.
I like patterns that have a brown or grey base color as I hunt in the fall and those colors best match. |

I usually do not wash my hunting equipment  I wash everything sweaty but this means basically only t-shirts. Inwash them with water only at High temperature.I wasn't familiar with asat Camo, i Just checked It out. Cool. It Is very similar to the cabela's' predator camo i sometimes use when it's snowy here |

I use old multicam uniforms most of the time. Sometimes just neutral color hiking pants and shirt.
I’ll use scentless detergents and scent killer spray. I hunt whitetail, hogs and small game. |

The only thing I hunt that needs camo is turkeys, and here's my typical wardrobe. I like multicam.

Cabela's Western Zonz pattern. Back when they weren't Bass Pro Suck they had a Zonz (how they spelled it) 4 region camo pattern. They had all seasons in all patterns in all types of hunting clothes.
It was some of the best natural camo patterns. Where I live and hunt it's perfect. I was lucky enough to get a ton of this, in 3 season mix and match, right before they merged, at 70% retail. I still have it today. Duluth Trading Company Flex Fire Hose Cargo make great 40+ staking pants in rough brush.   |

Black or tan carharts.
Very little camo although some gear only comes in camo now. Was taught to be still,use the wind and be quiet. Trying to teach my 5yr old daughter is trying.

I have a bunch of First Lite stuff from being R&D staff, but fuck that company. Bunch of public land pretentiousness and lumped into the same group as Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.
I want to try out Gulch Gear as it’s a USA made company, but I’ll probably just wear some flannels and such. |

Generally some 5.11 pants and whatever shirt was closest. I used to spend a ton of money on camo and started with everyday clothes. No change in the amount of animals I spot. Deer, pigs and turkey.

Natural Gear SC2 is my go to but it's getting harder to find. It works well for the low and high desert in my AO.
Truetimber Strata is a good one for most of my areas and not too spendy. $25 pants, $10 long sleeve shirt. Cheap WM Mossy Oak brush for low lands, Mountain country for in the Aspens. Multicam and ATACS FG are good for me also. |

I started hunting 7 years ago and for 2 years I hunted in blue jeans, solid color shirts and a 30 yr old solid green LL Bean field jacket.
It is far more important to break up your siloette for turkey than for deer. Anything that breaks up your siloette is good. Scent and movement are more important factors than camouflage. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nice rifle you have there. 12 gauge? Which model Is that? It's actually a rattle-canned 870 with the rifle sighted smoothbore barrel, yes 12 ga. Tan, OD, and mud brown were the camo colors. It's been relegated to the safe the past few years in favor of the much cooler chopped 20 ga M2.  Gobbler Fan SBS 20190428 by FredMan, on Flickr

We mostly wear whatever, sit still, and mind the wind.
Bought some disruptive British surplus stuff for like $5 pants and $7 for jackets for wife and kids 20 years ago. That and my ancient Trebark, bought 30+ years ago, or even older woodland. Works for us. Deer don't care.  Attached File |

I haven't hunted out here, but I usually wear Multicam as it's unbeatable for most of the Southwest. Desert Flecktarn has it's uses in the more arid regions.

Tan or Coffee Stain 3 color Desert BDU trousers & tan boots.
Old Faded OD Green BDU Top & Boony hat. Works great in Central Texas for 87% of all hunting, (Since we don't get snow)... I watch all the folks come & go trying out all sorts of fancy cammo, but most of it is bunk, as all the tiny patterns Blob up once you are 10 or more feet away. Only BIG Patterns tend to work as distances past rock throwing. |

Hard for so many hunters these days to SIT STILL, be QUIET and to LISTEN & SEE what is happening around them (without whipping their heads & bodies around to see the action - get ready for the shot - reset themselves in some other direction - run around trying to "locate" the animal... instead of being one with nature (I am a Mossy Rock or Cedar Bush just sitting here non-threatening with nothing to make Mr. Buck or Big Jake or Boss Hog think differently (until after the shot is out.)

Deer see red as a green and the black helps break up the outline. |
