So I was out in the great rocky mountains last weekend with my best friend savage 10pc, just walking through the bush looking for some squirrel and I had a thought come over me! I had a digital camo bandana but was wearing a mossy oak camo sweater and is some areas I found that the digital was better and likewise to the mossy oak. So I was wondering witch one work work better for all around use?

Question is, what are you using? where and why or what do you find better in all areas?
 
This is the best camo I have never seen.:D Ad by Huntech of New Zealand

Personally, I have found nothing better than a ghillie. It fools coyotes therefore will fool almost anything.

Cheers
 
Camo is so overrated...What hides from human sight may stand out like a sore thumb to some critters out there. Most important is to wear something that breaks up your outline, and to remain still. Digital or not, camo is camo.
 
The only situations that I feel camo is any advantage is when calling birds like geese and turkey in close, and when calling predators in snow.
If you were "walking around" looking for squirrel, no camo pattern will make any difference to your success.
Wear whatever camo you like for a fashion statement, not because it will help you to bag game!
 
when i bow hunt in a tree stand i choose the camo based on whats around me and the time of year. but more importantly i choose a tree the wont silloutee against the horizon and when i clear a shootin lane i miake sure to leave enough branchs and leaves to help break up movement of my draw. in a blind its different though i tend to wear shades of black since through the mesh windows the darker color makes it harder to be seen,how ever black on black is easy to see thats why you use shades of black,dark green ect.
there is a science to camo its not a matter of grabbing a camo jacket from walmart and squatting down in the bush,if you want to efectivly use camo use some research and make informed purchases. but the most important thing is your scent!!! everything must be descented including gear and dont wear your hunting gear out to the spot or youll pick up odors along the way,all my hunting gear is kept in a carbon bag till i put it on.
 
Like others said, What ever breaks up your silhouette is the best. I don't put too much thought into it, Turkeys and coyotes are the most important for camo around here, I wear a blaze orange overalls deer hunting, I've almost been walked over by moose and deer
 
Like someone said before, re: the grey shirt. Sitting still and looking like part of the natural landscape, often times, is the best option. I will wear full on camo (newer remington stuff, nothing fancy), and my dad will wear my old snow jacket which is beige (and some red accents). He was sitting beside me last year as an 8 pointer walked out right by us.... didn't see either. Both out outline's were broken up, and we were fine.

If you're REALLY going to get technical, there is that new digital type break up camo that I would love to get my hands on, as I am impressed... I just can't recall the name...

I'd know it if I saw it... :p (oh, the irony there).

It looks like digital camo, mixed with real-tree. Comes in shades of greys and greens. Looks SUPER great, because it REALLY breaks up any focus/solid lines.

If anyone knows what the name is/has a link, post it up!
 
I remember reading that mixing you camo (ie: Realtree jacket with Mossy Oak pants) really helps breaking up your outline even more. So you don't look like a big Realtree blob.
 
The one thing I am noticing more is that the tones make more of a difference than the actual pattern. Wearing dark green mossy oak on the bald ass prairie really sticks out in my eyes. I have bought some sitka stuff not so much for the digital camo but rather for the color tones as they better mesh with the areas I hunt (beige, greys, lighter tones).
 
Multi-Cam or Dirty ACU if its dry and sunny

Cadpat if its raining, and at night

Then like another guy said break up the outline, buy some old versions of the camo you are using. cut up some strips and sew those bad bad boys on, being cammed up and staking around, and making as little noise as possible (even if none of this will trick a deer) is good practice.
 
Reflected ultraviolet light is WAAY more important than the colour of camo. If you wash your hunting clothes in regular detergent you will add UV "brighteners" that humans can barely see but deer and geese etc. see as a bright blue glow.
Most camo is sold for its eye appeal to hunters, not its invisibility to game. For example, check out most white camo, especially that made of fleece. It positively glows under fluorescent light even to human eyes, the result of the pile of UV "brighteners" used in its manufacture.
