opinion on modern camo
Fox:
What do you all wear when hunting? I've just worn a checkered red shirt usually, and sometimes something over part of my face with mixed results....
for some reason, I have a dislike for a lot of modern hunting clothes, I guess just from all the marketing about it... but is it really better?
and how about boots aswell... I know that the rubber hunting boots are meant to greatly reduce cent left on the ground, which ive heard many hunters swear by these. but they are kinda gross looking ;D. and seem very heavy and most places I hunt are at least a mile or so of a ruff hike in... they aslo seem hard to stalk in whatsover....
id love to hear all of your opinions of this :)
Hawkdancer:
Fox,
Whatever works for you! Big game animals are pretty much color blind. Just be sure your footwear fits, is broken in, and provides traction. Whatever camo you wear shoul match the terrain you are hunting.

Sitting still and having the wind in your favor are the most important things. Patterned cloths is a help to break up your profile and having good cover behind you to break up your profile also helps.

I agree with pat and rubber boots suck.
WhistlingBadger:
Rubber boots might make sense for stand hunting. For stalking in the mountains, I like a good, flat-sole leather boot (the original Wandertoes boot is the best ever, in my opinion--too bad they quit making it) or running shoes if the weather's nice.
My hunting clothes are a mix of modern camo and gray/brown plaid shirts. I like both. The animals don't seem to care too much.
