I'm planning to bowhunt this season sans camo. I've concluded over the years that even at very close range  movement and scent get you busted not camo. I've taken deer in the past with  nothing  but a camo vest over a  sweater  and olive army  pants and my  hunting partner has taken deer without camo wearing muted earth tones. I've been busy on E-bay and online shops buying wool plaid:








I'll report my findings as the season progress,,Frank

I think you're exactly right, deer see movement or smell you not because you don't have on camo. I've been busted wearing full camo more than once and have also snuck up on deer in nothing but dark colored clothes.........let us know how it works for you.

Interesting. My old man's group never wore camo. They got plenty of deer...

I'd go with the lighter shades.

Hey Swamp,,

This is what I'm shooting for,,

Woww!!!! If he's still around, he's gotta be spectacular... Good luck! Oh, need some help?? hehehe.

I liking this new look... Did I mention that. I'm all Realtree Hardwoods and I quite like the lighter shades in this pattern compared to mossy oak... it helps me blend in more in my neck of the woods. But if I could change it up again and re-gear, this plaid look would be seriously considered. However, it suits more the traditional archer... And I'm slowly working on that  

How about this plaid

Awesome Big Guy!!!

Ya, I like that too
