    Olive drab is a natural camo in itself.

    And as such all of my deer gear is olive drab with the exception of my bright blue SC beanie.

    If you wanted to save some money one way to look at it is: if you hunt deer, ducks and also trout fish by all means buying one set of camo clothes would make sense to save on money.

    But for just deer stuff I honestly wouldn't bother.

    Is that because a good man is hard to find ?

    You are assuming that they want warm ones

    Been told head-to-toe camo is best but also "Just go for green or brown stuff, mate" so keen to get more opinions. Cheers.

    You can never have too much Camo Gear mate.

    Look here at my most recent Camo purchase. I've lured many an animal in using this Mouse!

    If you wear enough camo to look good on camera you’re going to sigh when you look back on your photos at a later date

    I wear cammo only because its my hunting clothes and I can tell them apart from my normal clothes when I grab something to go hunting in. I don't think I look any better or worse with it on.

    I guess if it helps not being seen by animals then thats a bonus but not the whole reason I wear it.

    I don't think people are idiots for wearing it and I don't hold it against anyone who doesn't wear it, its an individual choice.

    Just as long as someone doesn't wear white clothing or white gumboots, thats a big no no.
