I really like King's Camo.... Mtn. shadow for the mountains and Desert shadow for the foothills and plains...

Does anyone around here have access to a UV camera? I think it would be interesting to see how camo looks through one.

MARPAT

If I wear camo, I like Natural Gear's "Natural" pattern.

Crye

I never match...I guess it depends on conditions, my colder appropriate stuff is different from early season stuff. Probably the most prevalent pattern in my collection is Cabela's Outfitter.

Mossy oak brush.

Hill country = cabelas western zones or max 4 open terrain

Rah!

Due to the overabundance of mesquite at our lease, we primarily use Brush Country camo.

For years I just had a mismatch of stuff I'd been given, had handed down or picked up at an Academy on the way. I saved some money and put some gift cards to work this year and got a nice set of Sitka Optifade Forrest Jacket/Bib.

KUIU Gear and Sitka Gear. Started with Kuiu first but last year wife bought me some Sitka Gear. I still wear both but IMO Sitka is a little warmer and tad better. I also use my  LWCWUS - Light Weight Cold Weather Underwear Set (US Marine Corps Issue)

Core 4 Element Mountain Mimicry

No certain brand. Just make sure the tone isn't too far off. Most of the time when you see another hunter in the field they stand out as a dark blob. Avoid that and you are good to go.

Mismatched camo might actually be better because it breaks up the outline of a human.

Whatever is on sale at Academy

C4E Mountain Mimicry

Kuiu Vias camp

Kryptex Highlander

I wear a pair of BDU's that I had in the Corps of Cadets for warm weather and a cheap pair of coveralls that was purchased probably from Gibsons' about 20yrs ago for cold.

I had some Yeti brand prototype camo I tried out last year during the opening week of bow season, but I lost a toe and my left pinkie finger due to frost bite so I'm in the market for something that doesn't insulate the cold so well.

If I wear camo, it's going to be in Natural Gear.

I totally forgot about my C4E stuff!! Love their stuff... Mainly use Kings but have some C4E stuff, Natural Gear, and a few Sitka items...

Game Guard

Woukd love to have everything in kryptek mandrake

But alas it's whatever I've accumulated over the last 10 years. Some real tree some mossy oak, etc.

Mossy Oak brush, or Realtree max 1 are what I "like" to wear. Fits in with most of where I hunt. But also have at least something in almost every pattern commonly sold..

Yep. If if keeps me warm, dry and breaks up my outline, it works for me.

Usually wranglers and an A&M shirt. Best camo out there, hasn't failed me yet

Camo patterns are overrated. Avoid the old dark Mossy Oak and you're fine.

My preference is Max-1 but I have about 20 different patterns and wear them in all sorts of horrible mixes and matches.

My last purchase was a Browning Dirty Bird Jacket - Mossy Oak Duck Blind

Its not just camo pattern its also performance of clothing as well. Try going on a Antelope hunt wearing cheap gear. They will see you coming a mile away. Try walking around in the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and New Mexico wearing cheap gear. Good gear helps you stay dry and protects you from the elements but also is lightweight so your not carrying around extra weight. To serious hunters you want a comfortable material that is lightweight, keeps you dry and warm, adapts to the climate. Its makes all the difference when your out hunting walking miles and miles in the mountains or plains looking for game.

These guys didn't get the "camo required" memo..

Sitka- waterfowl pattern. Kind of expensive but I figure money spend on hunting (whether its guns, ammo, or gear) is a good investment.

I did almost all my wildlife work and guiding in various western states in a single pair of charcoal embedded Carhartt overalls. I had the equally blackened Wall's chore coat for a top. Sage or timber, used pretty much the same outfit (ok, it was pretty much my only outfit).

Granted, this also doubled as my skiing outfit...yes, I can be incredibly cheap.

Is this the newest OB dick measuring competition?
