Re: Why Camo?
They have a calendar they knew you were not hunting. Like the post. And I'm thinking what did hunters do years ago with no camo, how did they ever harvest a animal? You look at old hunting photos they mostly wore red and black shirts and some sort of solid color wool pants. Times have changed. But maybe not for the best. How many among us have shot a deer in a pair of white sneakers a white shirt a baseball cap and a pair of blue jeans. I know I have.

I don't know Bob, Laura here seems to have a pretty strong argument..bstout wrote:I get a chuckle out of the folks who look like they just stepped off the cover of a Cabelas catalog.
The haven't "pooped in a week" facial expression really adds to the picture also. I'm guessing that's the new "tough guy" look.
Staring off into the distance, wondering when he'll have his next bowel movement.

She is a very attractive Lady. But she is not shooting an Excalibur!!
Now for the Trivia. My youngest Daughter was having eye surgery. Very friendly Doctor. I mentioned some many years ago. When joining the reserves, the eye guy said I was Red defficent. I thought he was wrong.
The Doc did a quick color check on my eyes and said I had great color vision. I made some comment about being " color Blind" and not get drafted back into the forces.
He said the best spotters were color blind, as the color did not break up the patterns. The shape and stance were easy to see.
I watched a documentry on National Geo Channel it was about dog and cat's sight. They only see shades of green and blue. Very interesting.
Gives you a new perspective of camo.

My camo now is a ghillie suit; wear carhart clothing underneath and can't say enough about how well ghillie suits work;
Re: Why Camo?
We've all hunted wearing hunter orange. I've had deer within 10 yards of me when I was on the ground wearing hunter orange. I've slipped out after work wearing an orange jacket with blue jeans and sneakers and had success. Camo helps sometimes, but it is hardly a necessity to be successful.

Re: Why Camo?
Here is something interesting ,
This photo was taken this past week bear hunting. This hunter spent a week 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon and never seen a bear. The bear were hitting the bait at all hours all around him sitting in the stand. One evening he decided to check out the bait for tracks before he left and this is what the camera pic'ed up
He is wareing head to toe camo

Re: Why Camo?
the main reason why i just use baking soda to wash my hunting clothes in, instead of the regular detergent with all that fosferous and other junk in it.... hold a uv light up to your clothes and see what the deer see if you use regular detergent , it'll be like you are under a black light at night club ..........bob

Re: Why Camo?
The only camo I believe works is ASAT but Predator comes close. There are principles of camoflauge that these two follow but most others do not. The only problem with ASAT is that it is not trendy.
