    Hi all,

    On the topic of camouflage... I want to get a full set of camo clothing that will be good for hunting deer and have been checking out the stuff on this website… http://www.camp-hunt-shoot.com

    Can anyone suggest which clothing might be the best to get, including the best camo pattern for hunting deer?

    Does what you're hunting even matter when picking camo stuff, or is it all about the environment you're in?

    Thanks for the assist.

    Welcome to the site. Not sure that I would have made my first post an advertising post for another site but hope you are here for real. I love Predator camo! All that I wear all season! Impossible to say which camo is best and everyone has an opinion just like with bows. Find a pattern that you like and give it a shot!

    I buy whatever is on the clearance rack at my local shop, don't really care if it even matches

    First, just a random question DADO, do you happen to live at 3340 Victoria in Rowsley, Australia?

    Anyways, it all boils down to your preference. If you like to fully match your environment then go take some pictures of your treestand from the ground and see how well you can match it. If you don't really care, just get whatever is cheapest. Both will get the job done in most cases so it's all up to you.

    A few thoughts:

    Layering is best.
    Comfort is most important and what keeps a spot & stalk hunter comfortable is often very different then what keeps a still or treestand hunter comfortable.
    Cost may be a factor and that's an individual decision.
    Pattern is a matter of choice as well, depends on whether you are hunting open country, forest, snow, etc.
    The area is also important, camos that hold up well in some areas will be destroyed by another (hunt Arizona sometime...everything is prickly and sharp.)
    Ultimately there no "one" choice and most of us own a variety of camos each intended for a specific use. I prefer brushed camos that are silent and light so Sitka Gear Optifade and L5 Cyclone (for rainy weather) are my choices but I own a lot of camo I rarely use because it is intended for specific "travel" locales, not my immediate area. Hope that helps.

    Of course, if your name is Santino Anastasi then F U.

    As others have said, layering is the absolute best option. It's warmer and more versatile than a big heavy jacket. Lots of options and you can mix and match whatever you need for the conditions.

    DO NOT skimp on clothing. If you're going to skimp, do it on other gear. Good clothing that is comfortable, warm and versatile will keep you in the woods longer. Nothing worse than getting chased out of a stand because you're cold.

    As for patterns. I am personally a Predator camo fan. Go to the web site and look at the pics. They speak for themselves.

    Like everyone has said, layering is your best bet. And another vote for Predator Camo!

    Like everyone is saying its your opinion and choice. Right now walmart has been dropping there price on hunting clothing from pants,shirts, masks, hats, gloves. last week the pants were $15 from $30. This week they are $9. And it is Realtree AP my favorite. Also you kind of need to blend in with your surroundings. Realtree has an app on the iphone where you type in your area and it will tell you what pattern will work best for that area. Just look around and find what best fits the area and your price. Only thing I wouldnt skimp on is probably a good winter coat. Def need it to fit right and keep you warm and be out of the way. Good luck in finding what you need and like there is so much out there.
