    I try to match my camo to my surroundings as best as I can. I wear mostly Realtree stuff but I own plenty of Mossy oak and Predator.

    Sitting still is is always gonna be the best camo.

    Realtree xtra is by far the best camo pattern!! Fits in any surrounds and looks great! Highly recommend it!

    I wear Kuiu Vias and Predator Fall Grey and Brown Deception. I'd wear any camo with an "open" camo design.

    I don't put as much into camo patterns as some do. As long as its a neutral color I'm fine with it. Last season when it got cold I used my mossy oak shadow grass insulated bibs and a max 4 or duck blind hoody. I wore a mossy oak duck blind hat all season. Did fine. I had deer look at me sometimes but never spooked one. You're just a blob in a tree.

    Whatever I can find on sale. I'm not too picky about pattern as much as I am brand. I try to use scent blocker as much as possible. I've always had good luck with them.

    There's lots of good patterns out there but the one I like best is Predator Deception. The Deception green really seems to blend in well with my surroundings in the early bow season. As the season wears on and the leaves fall, I switch to the fall gray.

    None, overpriced waste of money. I usually wear natural colors like tan or light grey, and I break it up by drawing very large brown "branches" on it with clothing dye or even permanent marker, though I'm not sure that is even necessary. You're just trying to break up your human shaped outline. Most camo patterns are too dark, and the patterns too small, for treestand hunting. They make guys look like big brown blobs up in the tree.
