Jere Smith. Camo is over rated, our grandfathers did very well without it. Moishe- You nailed it, as usual. I think we wear the camo more for the other hunters than we do the deer, ducks, etc.
My Grandfather killed more squirrels than just about anyone, and never owned or wore so much as a camouflage pocket handkerchief. Christian Emter. Wetlands camo. I always like the Mossy Oak Duck Blind!!!
Natural Gear is the best for waterfowl. Camo that has tree limbs and little reeds are to catch hunters, not to blend in better. Patterns like Natural Gear and Optifade are meant to break up the human outline, pure and simple. Keith Patton. It had been a few years since I gave up my goose lease. I wore my old Gortex Cabella's parka I bought in or so in marshland pattern.
I got a few weird looks from the young something hunters in my party. My parka was older than most of them and still looks new after serving me well hunting the central flyway from Saskatchewan, to Montana, to Kansas, Oklahoma and now Texas. I've never had a complaint with the old brown blob camo pattern first introduced by the Marines in WWII. It says something about the Metrosexuals who are now hunting that "coolness" and a sense of fashion even enters into what you wear into the field.
Sadly it does. I guess GQ and Cosmo are making inroads into the hunting world. A lot of the "businessman" hunters that come out of Houston to hunt are more interested in seeing and being seen BTW, the more 'hyped' a camo pattern is, the more it will cost.
Native NV Ducker , Feb 10, JJVizinat likes this. Feb 10, 3. Feb 10, 4. I can see a hunter walking around from a literal mile away. Ducks see better than I do. Any of your turkey stuff will probably work. I like my Sitka in the grass.. Advantage Wetlands is very common. Real Tree Max 4 is probably one of the most popular around. It isn't that important.

Not sure why, but you never really see either much anymore. When hunting in thick woods of the northern half of this region, mimicry works well because much of the hunting is close range. When it starts to break up and become farm land further south and west, a good break-up pattern is the way to go.
This will hide your silhouette from long range game. It is a scrub oak habitat, until the everglades take over. The best hunting camo pattern for this area is, as in all these regions, a broad spectrum with many options and choices depending on the specifics of location. Within this region are rolling plains, farmland, northern pine forests, middle-northern deciduous forests, and many other habitats.
Much of this terrain is considered deer stand country, if this is the hunting you are doing, that is. There is an enormous amount of fresh water lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.
One of my personal favorites, and best hunting camo patterns for the north-central deciduous forests is Realtree APG. This pattern has a small amount of green, but mostly gray and brown make up the base colors. The vertical tree pattern rests on an open background, which makes it a good choice for tree stands.
The digital pattern is out-of-focus, for longer range hunting. Another great pattern, especially for bow hunters is Mathews Lost Camo , made by the same company that makes Mathews Bow.
It is a larger format pattern designed to have definition from yards away. This a great hardwood setting pattern, with large horizontal and vertical limbs, and a very stunning pattern, in and of itself. Many of these hunting patterns will work for deer or duck hunting in wooded areas. For hunting fields, the first two camo patterns work well, but I like a bit more light brown in it, to mimic or breakup, the corn fields that used to be part of the great plains.
This region, especially northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan have a very diverse terrain, so really check your hunting grounds well and take pictures of where you hunt.
This will give you an idea of what hunting camouflage patterns work best. This area covers from Alabama, to Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and the states in between. This area is huge, and like the others has a vast array of hunting habitats. Some places are thick with vegetation, resembling images of a jungle, and others can open up into old plantation fields.
Mossy Oak Break-up is a great choice for the swampy, murky areas of hunting in Alabama and Louisiana. For northern Texas and into the hardwood forests of Arkansas, Predator Deception has always rang true.
It has a great break-up pattern, and is one of the few non-digital camouflage patterns on the market. This one is more like art, than anything else, but do not let that statement fool you. It is some of the most functional art money can buy. Next G-1 has various patterns that will work throughout this area, too. When your hunting party decides to cross state lines, and ride into Arizona, New Mexico, or western Oklahoma then a different pattern is needed all together. It resembles sage desert plants, with a sandy brown base layer.
This is what any hunting camo pattern for this area should have, all the way up to the beginning of the Rocky Mountains. Original Natural Gear is another company that produces good break-up patterns for this habitat. Any rocky, dry habitat and this camo pattern performs over and over again. It will hide your silhouette extremely well, which is not easily accomplished in this particular terrain. The southern USA is a vast area, and should be treated as such.
Many of these regions overlap each other in certain areas. While this guide can be trusted to perform, all hunters should study there specific terrain to pick the best patterns for where they are hunting. This area is rather large, and can be split into two main sub-regions. The Rocky Mountains, and the coast. Their name implies this, but just to be sure I wanted to make this distinction. Once passed the Rockies, you will find yourself in one of the rarest habitats on earth, the deciduous rain forest of the Pacific Northwest.
It works very well, in fact. It can blend in with just about any dry, rocky place on earth. Realtree Max-1 HD is another great western pattern, for the dryer west that is. It is a busy camouflage, with a mix of earth tones, prairie grass, brush, sage, and rocks. In addition, it has a bit of shadow detail to lock it in. It is a mix of gray tones that can work in the Rockies all the way from Colorado, to Alaska.
This print will help you blend in with dirt and dead grasses, as well as other minimal colors seen in this terrain. The long lines resembling wetland plant life allow you to drop right into the swampy environment, leaving you near invisible to approaching game or flyover waterfowl.
Marsh camo is fantastic at what it does, but due to its specificity, is limited to the swamp. Waterfowl camouflage is not recommended for all-purpose uses. When snow blankets the terrain on a deep winter hunt, you need more than white clothing.
Snow camo will mix in darker colors that will confuse game as you blend seamlessly into the snowy landscape. Designed to limit the amount of contrast your profile showcases against the white, powdery environment, snow camo can be a great tool when the elements change on you.
