I am no expert, but what comments I have read Sitka is not worth the money they want. I am leaning towards Kryptek myself when I do go buy some new camo, my good buddy liljozie on here owns quite a few pieces now and they are all really nice.

Camobooty!!!  :drool:  J/K  I don't think the pattern matters as much as it is hyped.  I've worn the vietnam era woodland and had animals walk right by me.  It depends on your budget, whether or not you want it to be waterproof, and what's on sale.  My biggest thing is that it is QUIET!!

Camo is over rated. Deer know when its hunting season and when its not. hunting season I do not see any deer, but when I am out camping and its not hunting season, they walk right up to me. Maybe I will make me a ghillie suit and see if that helps during hunting season.  :chuckle:

Just noticed this is in the ELK section, Either way, the only elk I have seen was in Unit 653 and they just looked at me, wondering what I was doing.

Fred Bear used to bow hunt in jeans and flannel. Animals pick up movement, not colors. That being said, I wear Sitka because it gives me confidence in what I'm doing. And without confidence in your gear or method, you're walking aimlessly.

OK, everyone knows animals trigger in on movement. A good camo will help you be able to move with out being spotted as easily. I love Core4Element (mountain mimicry) and Kryptic gear. Also the Cabelas Zones (western). I haven't tried the gear but the camo looks good.  :twocents:

The number one thing Ive fund is that I want to be comfortable.  Warm, Dry, and quiet.  The pattern doesn't seem to matter one bit.
I hunt with guys who have worn the same pair of wool pants and flannel shirts for 30 years, and they all shoot Elk. 

Being a snowboarder I am use to certain clothing types when it's cold and wet.  I wear layers and shells.  A waterproof camo coat with hood, and a waterproof camo pant, with lots of pockets.  I have a hell of a time finding what I want. 

My coat is by Gamehide in Realtree camo, and my pants are some sort of cabela's brand, not sure which but they are waterproof and just a shell.
I also have various camo hoodies and tee shirts in case the weather gets warm. 

No matter what I wear, I just need to be comfortable, and confident that if I do my part, so will my gear.

  :yeah: Whatever you are comfortable in.... When your warm and dry you are going to have a better hunt. Here is a pic of my early season Camo. It is a leafy bug net I put on over whatever I'm wearing. I do treat all my clothes with scent killer also. Scent and movement are what always get me busted .

I prefer the more open/lighter patterns such as Mt mimicry, the darker tighter patterns from a distance turn to a solid and don't work well :twocents: Scent and movement are far more important tho.....

Go for the sitka...its expensive but ive gone through two sets trying to find one that can handle this western wa jungle, and theyve hooked me up both times without asking for a cent. The customer service is second to none, and being dry and comfortable while you hunt is priceless.
