Camo

Every aker of land is different. Scout the area you want to hunt and go from there.


Use cadpad if the ground is green. If your in thick Forrest use dark collours and shadows.
 
any old faded Carharrt will do just fine, everything is brown or white in the fall, most commercial camos are way too dark for Calgary until you get into the pine covered foothills....
 
What ever you get, get a light a color as possible.

Most commercial camo is way too dark. You look like a big black dot at 100 yards.
 
If I felt that a camo was absolutely needed, I'd use a wetlands camo. My buddy watched me stalk a buck once when I was wearing my duck hunting coat (Advantage Wetlands) and the only way he could track me was from the occasional glimpse of my blue jeans -- the deer never saw me yet:evil: despite looking right at me several times.

The western part of Alberta is mostly open stands of poplars with grasses and sedges growing in between. That pattern matches the patterns that are out featuring cattails and rushes. As Roscoe said, lighter is better and the wetlands camos are several shades lighter than the regular deer hunting camos.
 
I like realtree. It's more, "tanny" and the contrast colors are more towards yellow/birchbark, and light brown.

I find most camo patterns way too dark or else way too green for AB. in the fall. I wonder if they're not designed for, say Vermont, or someplace where there's lot's of Oak in the forest?
 
There is no point to wear a camo pattern while deer hunting with a rifle (you wear a big orange vest over it...)

The only good use for camo is while bow hunting. and even then, nothing beat concealmen by a treestand or a closed cache.
