best camo pattern for south texas

[Russ81]

Game Guard is hard to beat, they're inks don't fade out like the Brushcountry does. The Mossyoak Brush is ok and Realtree's aren't bad either but its a little dark...

Think in terms of greens, browns and tans, and your good to go.

Predator works anywhere.

[BuckySWT]

Asat

Whatever is on sale. Honestly, I don't think it really matters, unless you are turkey or squirrel hunting.

Camo patterns are really more for selling than they are for keeping hunters hidden from deer. If you read some of the studies from U of Georgia they discuss deer di-chromatic vision and as long as you stay away from the blue end of the spectrum and break up your outline, vision will not be an issue. In other words, buy the cheapest cammo that makes you happy, because the deer aren't going to notice anyways.

Camo patterns are more for the hunter than the hunted. Buy what you like.

X2 for all 3 of these. Basically most camo patterns are for the hunter's eyesight and not a deer's. For deer's eyesight just make sure at a distance ~50 yards that you don't turn into a blob.

You can buy Sitka Optifade as it's the only one really designed for a deer's eyesite. The 2nd best for deer's eyesight is Natural Gear which would work great in S. TX for about 1/2 the price of Sitka. Other than that they are all the same.

I use ASAT everywhere, because I'm cheap and don't wanna buy a lot of camo......

That being said I got some army surplus desert "digital" and its pretty close to perfect.

Black! I only hunt out of pop-ups though...

When i hunt/stalk pigs I wear sticks-n-limbs. Its concept is very similar to preditor...

I really like brushcountry bc I think it looks purdy

[sckiller]

Curious. Is there a light black?

Yep...gray


Like Texag said, it's all more for the hunter.

[SLICK_N_STICKY]

ASAT Works for me.

Gameguard is good stuff and I really love the Realtree Max 4 patern!

Whatever you like so long as it doesn't turn you into a solid blob from a distance. Predator camo does a good job of not turning you into a blob with the big patterns. Old army camo patterns work on the same premise, big patterns don't turn into a silhouette at greater distances like some of our more favorite patterns do. Too much detail or too much of one shade of color blends into a solid mass that doesn't look right in nature.
