You ever walk up on deer or pigs at your set up or in some random spot?

This. I frequently end up setting up under a random tree on the way to the stand because I walk up on deer/hogs.

Turkey, squirrel, or duck hunting...gotta have it.

Deer hunting I usually just pick something durable/appropriate for whatever the weather happens to be. We have to wear blaze orange during any open firearms season, so that makes it a mute point. Don't move and game won't see you.

I agree with all e,cent the squirrel. I usually hunt them in a black jacket, jeans, and wearing a blaze orange vest. You could hunt them in hot pink and have the same results. It's the movement/sound the pick up on, not the colors/patterns.

Geez. It cracks me up how many people think that everyone else should think like them, or that all situations apply the same.

I always wear camo when hunting.
1- when weather permits its my warmest clothes.
2- I bow hunt primarily, so I wash in scent control and spray scent killer on them. Sitting in a tree, I prefer to blend in rather than not.
3- I spot and stalk regularly. Even if I sit in a box blind rifle hunting, I've done it many times where I see a buck or pigs cross the sendero and I bail out to chase them.
4- Because I look cool!! Not really, but I think that is the answer you are expecting.

So... if a fella's hunting clothes are camo and hunts outside a blind, should he wear regular everyday clothes to satisfy your odd infatuation about what men wear if he hunts in a blind too?

I having hunting clothes and I have everyday clothes. The hunting clothes are usually a little more durable. More comfortable and a lot more susceptible to tears, rips, stains etc in the woods. Why would I not wear them in a blind too? Too satisfy your fashion tastes? Bleep that. I'm not ruining my everyday clothes to hunt. I buy hunting clothes to hunt in. They are made for it and the elements I'm in... box, field or tree.... it don't make a **** where I am hunting.[emoji1303]

And for the record... I hunt in camo and black... In a box, I hunt in whichever is clean that day.

These +

1. I don't want to get blood on my work clothes.

For somebody that doesn't use camo, that is a nice camo shirt/jacket, bow and face paint in your avatar?..

Doh!

Because we "outdoor" guys are suckers for good advertising!

Quick story:

Years ago, before bows were screen printed with camo, a camo cloth "sock" was the common way of preventing the reflective glare from the bow limbs. Once such sock manufacturer had an ad which went something like, if you don't think those deer know what a bow looks like, you've got another think coming!

Ha ha. I'd forgotten about those "socks" that I covered my limbs with in the '80's and '90's.

I sure didn't do it because I thought a deer knew what a bow looked like, but to cut down on reflected glare.

it looks better than a chef's hat. them things are just dumb.

[tradtiger]

Tougher than most regular clothes and don't show dirt and blood.

There have been some funny answers on this thread! Thanks fellas. Have a great day day

I hunt out of tri-pods nestled in some brush. Even though I have small shooting lanes that are just large enough to shoot out of, I would get busted if I wasn't wearing camo. I've been busted before for not wearing a face mask!! Camo is a necessity for me when hunting tripods. When I'm hunting one of my bow blinds camo is not a necessity.

I've done it a few times, but it's because my camo is the warmest clothing I own. If it's cold then thats what I'm wearing

[picklenav130]

Because I want too.

Why do so many hunting enthusiasts wear camo when they sit in a blind? I don't get it. Maybe the camo is seen as a "hunting uniform"?

I just like it.

I hunt in jeans and a T-shirt. But before I go to town for supplies I ALWAYS pull out my matching scent free camo to wear to the store.
