    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.

    I wear blaze so that other hunters can see me.
    Deer are colour blind but are designed to see movement.
    Anything that breaks up your outline is useful, that includes checkered patterned shirts.
    Covering your skin helps.
    Chose clothing for affordability, warmth, comfort and durability. If it happens to be camo so be it.

    Have never owned and will never own any camo.

    I like functional wear like fine wool, so what ever I can pick up…icebreaker seconds or sale items. Often black, blue whatever.

    Dressing like a compost bin reminds me of yanks hunting behind a wire.

    I have 1 camo top my thinking is that if you have to much off one color it's easier for a deer to pick your shape up so just where that when bush hunting in close to try brack my shape up a bit most my deer shot under 80 meters

    Camo isn't me but this cap covers my white hair that would probably stick out like a beacon. Sarvo gave it to me.

    My approach is not to be seen regardless of what Im wearing.

    When you look in the mirror and can't see a reflection , you've probably over done it!
