opinion on modern camo
Eric Krewson:
I gave up camo a long time ago, earth tone pants and plaids work for me.
That said, old age, physical decline, loss of my former great hunting land and an empty freezer had me pulling out my Ghillie suit and a modern rifle for hunting out the back door last year, it didn't matter, I never saw the first deer. For the last 20 years I could have killed 25 out the back door every year if chose, this year was different, my camera showed dozens of deer but all were strictly nocturnal.
gifford:
I've used Carhart 'farmer' Brown for years, and green cruiser coat, and old Army woodland green camo all with similar results. Footwear depends on type of hunting (still, blind, treestand) and prevailing weather conditions. YMMV
Fox:
Okay... probably going to stick with the gear I have for the time being then. I've liked the idea of ghillie suits Eric ;D
No luck last year for me with the bow... going to have to start getting out in the woods and scouting for this fall. been having a hard time connecting with deer.... thinking about setting up a game came, although I hunt public land so worried about that getting stolen... I guess ill see! :)
archeryrob:
I use German Flecktarn now, because I can't get US issue fatigues cheap any more. I can't live without my six pocket pants hunting. Plus it is a proven camo like woodland and I can't stand the new digital stuff, but the digital battle uniform is nice, but even harder to get stuff to buy.
For boots I mainly use Cabelas Full Draw light season archery boots. Damn sole fell off on one and had to JB weld it back on. I walk a long ways also and get dressed in the stand if it is cold. I can't get my over pants over my big boots so I clip blanket boots to my pack when its is cold out. I can stalk in these fine, but I would not say they are the best. Now that BPS owns them I am afraid to buy anything from them anymore.
