What camo combinations do you use?

I usually wear whatever i can get my hands on that will more-or-less blend in with where i am hunting. However, I have noticed that the birds seem to come closer, sometimes way too close, when i have a leafy suit on. I walked S  L  O  W  L  Y  out of the woods at the end of the season last year as a doe watched about 30 yds away. She kept an eye on me but never ran. I was in pretty thick woods and down-wind i guess, but from my observations with turkeys and deer, a leafy suit seems to be something that just does not compute with them.

Normally, whatever I happen to find on the clearance rack at Bass Pro Outlet Store.

My shirt, jacket, vest, face cover and hat are Realtree Xtra Brown because I've been hunting that long and it's a good pattern. My pants are Realtree Max1 because it had the most green of the patterns available in the lightweight zip-off shorts / pants I wanted. CA in the spring time is a RIOT of shades of green and it gets hot in the afternoons.

I like having two different patterns, I think it breaks up the man shaped outline.

cammo makers are robbing us blind...no wait....were giving it to them. It doesn't matter. I've worn green when nothing anywhere near me was green. They pick me off when they get close enough to see me breath. I wouldn't wear an orange vest.

Well since I only have a spring season here, I've been using the same cheap ole Red Head leafy suit for the last oh probably 7 or more years. It's super light and I generally just wear shorts and a tshirt under it, along with a pair of Under Armour Speed Freak boots.

 I usually just wear whatever I have that's most comfortable.  Last year bought a leafy jacket and love it.  I can where a short sleeve under it and when it gets to hot i can pull the jacket off and cool down quick.

Early season I will mix Bottomland, Breakup Infinity, and Obsession. Mid-season, I will swap to full Obsession. I've been a Mossy Oak person for several years now.

#3 Camo pattern/color-  I FIRMLY believe that almost any of the modern camo patters work well for almost any terrain as long as they have mostly brown/gray colors.  I dont got much of the "spring green" colors because early in the season, there's not a ton of green out there but no matter what time of season, there is ALWAYS going to be brown and gray (color of tree bark/brush and leaves on the ground).  Also used to hunt in the old school camo and army fatigues when I started hunting "back in the day" and as long as you sit still, hide decently well and break up your outline, the birds didnt seem to notice me.

I don't think any pattern matters if you can't sit still.  But if you do you part, effective pattern right for the situation can help determine outcome.  I agree in base colors need to match time of year and environment.  Wore an older pair of Advantage pants first week last year that had faded some over the years, and the gray base color was just too light for the dark bark and leaf litter on the ground.  Got picked out three times that morning as soon as the birds came into view.  I never even flinched, had a wide tree behind me.

Those pants got moved to the work clothes bin.

I think the colors need to be more toward brown, dark brown and black highlights as a base layer, like the new version of MO Bottomland.  I thinks the base is critical especially when leaves begin to pop and shadows come into play.
