camo pattern?

[Heredoggydoggy]

Most camo patterns are made to appeal to human eyes--critters don't see the same way we do....

I like Sitka Open Country. Killed three bulls wearing it. Walked right at him he didnt have a clue. Wide open country. No cover. Shot two bulls at under 20 yds. Wear my acsent pants sring to fall everytime in the woods. No issues.  Buy it now usually sells for 20% and no shilping. Go try some on to get right size before ordering.

May favorite pattern is Predator Fall Gray- it blends in with most terrain and disappears  in broken snow area.  It doesn't show as well against the solid brown cut bank.

The Real Tree top is my Rivers West jacket- I tried several times to talk them into using Predator.  Real Tree, Mossy ( blob)
Oak son't have enough contrast to ' see thru' them.

All that said- minimizing movement at the critical times is more important than the camo pattern

I wear rivers west digital camo. Great around home out in the weather, but doesn't breathe well if you're planning on moving around a lot.  Their washing instructions seem odd but they want you to wash normally and dry on high heat. The heat shrinks all the stitching and makes the waterproofing last. They dont reccommend to just hang to dry so that kind of sucks for guys at elk camp or whatever.     http://www.cascadedirect.net/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=780

hey guys i was wondering what kind of camo pattern/ brand these days. im really considering getting a new set of under armour . but sitka is always in the back of my head to. thought? if it helps i normally hunt the west side up north

I wouldn't worry about camo pattern at all in you under armour.  It is the bottom layer and never seen. Black might be the best if you are sitting in a blind in the early season.  I don't believe color is that important but sitting still, and playing the wind is. Unless you are hunting turkeys and ducks!

  All good advise, Only thing I would add is have more than one pattern, September on the east side temps can range in the 20s before daylight and can get into the 90s during the day, proper layering is essential, Late hunts require winter camo, rainy stormy weather sometimes a good pair of wool pants is best, have more than one choice to pick from.

Predator fall grey for most everything. Predator spring green for the rest.

I vote for First lite merino wool ASAT Camo fall and spring colors...

I recently switched to core4element clothing.  Same athletic and comfortable fit as sitka but much easier on the bank

Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of pants that are dark, quite, comfortable and water resistant. You WILL get wet hunting the westside! It doesn't matter what you are wearing. Get a few cheap, quiet rain jackets from Cabelas and call er good.
