    Been hunting for over 40 years. Only time I've really worn camo gear is while game bird shooting and even then only occasionaly. When hunting animals it's mostly bush shooting with some river-flats and open area work. Have worn jeans and shirt/swannie to shorts and tee-shirt and had reasonable success over the years, eg. approx. 4000 goats over last seven years plus numerous deer and pigs. After plenty of up close and personal encounters, within touching distance, with animals I believe movement and scent are what give you away. Camo gear is for catching hunters and their wallets in hunting stores. Previous to about the mid-eighties we, as hunters, didn't really have to worry about the fact that gamebirds and animals, especially deer, could see in the ultra-violet spectrum. Laundry detergent didn't tend to have brighteners in them like today to make our clothes look like new. Just my 2 cents worth, wear whatever does it for you.
