I think camo is WAY over rated!!!!

Ive got to the point where my camo gets used very seldom unless im varmint hunting. This morning I had a group of ten does feeding in front of me. They got as close as fifteen yards at times and never seen me. I was sitting on my stool in the edge of a tree line eye level with the deer. I was wearing blue jeans, red tshirt, and tenny shoes. I know the red shirt stood out like a sore thumb. I kept waiting to get busted but never happened. These deer are very spooky to because of all the hunting pressure. I think as long as you got the wind in your favor and stay still your good to go. Whats your thoughts on camo?

Deer don't see you as a threat unless you are wearing camo

[bigrack]

i always heard deer couldnt see red. never knew whether or not to believe it but your story might prove it to be true. dont know. i like camo

I don't own anything without cammo, it goes with everything and great for any occasion! Even got me some cammo boxers...

The first deer i killed i was wearing a blue ski suit. During rifle season I almost never wear camo. I am usually in my work clothes

I agree I wear jeans and a dark color shirt and ball cap when I bow hunt out of my tree stand and never get busted and I shoot p&y deer all the time and I'm low fence and the deer are skittish

I just wear it because I like the way it makes me feel... not so much for the deer... you asked...

Works especially well for beaver hunting...just sayin'.


Besides, up until about 20 years ago the "it" clothing of choice for most hunters was black and red plaid flannel. As we know, deer cannot see in the red spectrum very well so anything that breaks your outline up suitably is fine. And a lot cheaper in most cases.

Why would you consider it necessary for varmint hunting if it is overrated?

Deer see shades of yellow and blue they see the best.
But just cause they see blue doesn't mean they see a threat.
Move and see what happens.

I dont have nothing against camo, have a closet full. I just dont think it makes that big a difference. Wonder what brand of camo the indians used........

Kind of a funny strory here. I have a buddy that wears Wranglers and a blue denim wrangler shirt and a cowboy hat every day. We were bow hunting and I dropped him off at one end of a food plot that already had deer in it. So there he is in his every day attire and two of the does walk up to within 5 yards of him. Guess like the one guy said they are not threatened unless you are in camo. I picked him up and he told me the story and I asked him why he didn't shoot one he said "I didn't know we could shoot does". LOL

They wore animal hides...the ultimate camo....

I am giving plaid a chance again during rifle/rut season. After the rut its back in the trees and archery camo on.

I kill my pigs wearing normal clothes everytime. I know they have poor eyesight.

That being said. I use a rifle during the rut to better my chances. The buck that is the baddest and biggest has his own Secret Service/doe eyes watching everything.

I am on stand now in nothing but boxers
