    Should be fine if the wind is in your favor. I am a sitka kinda guy myself though. Get your scent under control and rock it!

    Deer see colors much different than humans. Mostly what they see is similar to our black and white photos. Effective camo is more of a fashion statement than anything else.

    THIS...Camo brand is personal choice. I've used dozens of brands over the years. Any "good" cam will work if you don't let movement or the wind give you away.

    I hunt government land now and I have seen guys go straight from work to hunting and yes wonce they are set up the camo works but they complain that they never see anything.....obviously cuz they are still in their work clothes. Take care of your scent and you wont have a problem.

    that multicam pattern is the latest and in my opinion, the best besides the marine MARPAT woodland for hunting in the woods. but like mentioned, camo is a personal choice i use the multicam, lost camo, and mossy oak mosly because they resemble the terrain and foilage around here the best, especially turkey season

    Multi cam works well against humans, Kryptek highlander is just simply cool as hell.
    Whether it works for deer or any camo for that matter is always going to be up for debate.
    Wind , scent and movement are far more important.
    I've heard that deer just can't see red, I got a Santa suit and just might test that theory.

    Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey...

    Just get the stuff and HUNT!

    Actually, the biggest deer I ever shot during archery season found me wearing blaze orange. That pattern in the thumbnail looks good to me - now go get our team some points man :tu:

    :lol:

    ^^^ This. Deer don't care. Just wear drab colors and you'll be fine. I spent all of the late season last year hunting in mossy oak shadow grass bibs and shadow grass jacket. They didn't care that I was wearing a "waterfowl" camo pattern.

    I just picked up a new jacket and bibs in mossy oak shadow grass blades for goose and ducks this year. Always been a realtree fan but man that stuff is sweet.

    mossy oak break up infinity looks sharp to me, but anything that breaks up your outline should work

    I read somewhere that if your camo doesn't say "Bone Collector" it's worthless.

    On one of the Buck Commander episodes, Matt Light wore a Santa suit out to hunt. He was in a tree stand and arrowed a nice deer while wearing the Santa suit, complete with beard, hat, and all.

    Multi-cam is legit. I have hunted in it and had no issues. Hell my dad hunts in blue jeans and a camo shirt. And he has tagged our every year

    No wonder I killed my biggest buck ever last year! Bought a pair of clearance scentblocker pants that say those exact words. My future looks bright.
