    Best camo by far is a 'Duley Hat'. Deer dont look at legs and bodies, they look at heads. A human head shape and they are gone. Break that shape with a big wide brimmed hat and they dont see a human - look down covering open ground so they cant pick up a face. I have found that the pixilated camo pattern like Hunters element works very well and makes a measurable difference, the other 'Real Tree' types etc dont make any difference at all. A single lightweight HE camo top is all thats needed, then just add and subtract layers under it of whatever wool singlets and fleece you already have. Add a Duley hat and your set

    the best camo is to fall over in a wallow like a moron. gives you a nice muted earth colour and helps disguise your smell.

    real talk, I've never had a deer or pig care much about me if Im more than a couple of hundred meters away so long as the wind is right.
    hunting and fishing do a pink camo shirt that stands out like dogs balls compared to orange and blue, wish they made it in mens

    I'd wear a pink camo fleece of there was one in men's. I wouldn't be seen dead out of the bush in it though.
    And yes, I use a creedmoor. ^^

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

    Can’t really see the point in cammoing up and not covering your hands and Mellon
    There’s a reason why the duck slayers paint their faces .

    Ohhh the poor dear would freeze out on the tops - might get hypothermia and need to be put into someone's sleeping bag to warm up - as a gentleman I would of course volunteer

    I've seen all the latest trends from blue light blockers, scent blockers, various types of face paint, every pattern of camo clothing and even camo toilet paper.

    If we used all this fancy stuff that gets marketed to hunters there would be no deer left.

    Just keep the wind in your face and move real slow.

    Even sit on your arse for an hour or three.
