Post by: EastWaViking on September 02, 2008, 12:28:23 PM: any camo works anywhere. I've got what ever is on sale and I mix it all together. I have always wanted to buy a Hawaiian shirt and some flowery disco pants from goodwill and use them to
prove that it really doesn't matter.

i hear that. i look at the old vintage photos of the masher bucks that those old timmers got and they had none of the technology that we have in camo now and still were very successuful.

i guess my question should be what camo looks the coolest and makes you look the part of a hunter savage... ha ha ha....
lol :IBCOOL: :chuckle: :)

Post by: EastWaViking on September 02, 2008, 12:36:01 PM: If I had to pick one for around here for sept and oct it would be Advantage timber.
Late buck Mossy oak break up or snow camo.

good luck!

Post by: BlackTail on September 02, 2008, 03:13:22 PM: I like camo with some contrast to break up your outline. Light and dark colors like outfitter or ASAT camo. The darker camo patterns just look like solid black once your about 30 yards away.

Post by: finnman on September 02, 2008, 09:27:56 PM: I have been using OUTFITTER CAMO from Cabelas in Western WA and Eastern WA and OR. It really blends in good with evergreens and the brush and pines of the dry side. Good mix of browns, greens and grays.

Post by: wrangler on September 02, 2008, 10:20:02 PM: oh jeeze... here we go! im on the 'camo doesn't do jack but if it makes you feel better whatever' side of the fence. iv never worn camo and prolly never will. i got some worn out wranglers, carharts and if its wet out, ethier wool bibs or gortex shell pants and jacket... i always get a kick outa the road hunters decked out in the latest and greatest cabelas has to offer. its a FACT the dudes i run in to back in the backwoods miles from any road are rarely wearing any camo at all. dunno, i usually still hunt and if i spot and stalk im looking for a 300yd shot anyways so doesn't seem to matter for me. i do however 100% belive that you HAVE to break up your silhoutte, i wear orange with a black break up or whatever for that very reason. but camo? naw, not for me...

Post by: Opportunist on September 03, 2008, 01:43:45 AM: I wear Natural gear because it was on sale at my sporting goods store last year and my wife said my ass looks good in them. I wear them around the house when I'm hunting her.

I wear a leafy wear jacket when I'm bowhunting, it really breaks up my outline well. Otherwise it doesn't really matter what kind of camo a guy wears. I've had animals at spitting distance wearing jeans and a filson black and red jacket.

Post by: MIKEXRAY on September 03, 2008, 08:08:57 AM: I hunted for years with the green / with black stripes ( don't know what its called, doesn't look like the best ) and had deer & elk stare at me @ 25 yards and not see me. I needed more clothes this year since I will be staying longer with gas prices and bought the mossy oak new break up. I also tend to agree it doesn't matter a whole lot, but if you are confident with the scent free good crap & will hunt longer / harder then it will make you more successful.

Title: Re: What camo do you guys use...eastside area?
Post by: backwoods_boy on September 03, 2008, 09:21:34 AM: yeah i agree with all of you, it really doesnt matter but it sure makes you feel better when in the woods if you spent $$$$ on youre gear.

Post by: Intruder on September 10, 2008, 07:46:04 AM: Predator and ASAT are IMO the best patterns on the market. Most of the stuff you see in the store is meant to look good on the hanger..... I call it fashion camo. ASAT and Predator actually do the best of breaking your outline and confusing the vision of animals.

Post by: Rhinoron247 on September 10, 2008, 08:38:10 AM: Here here on the standing still -VS- Camo. I would suggest avoiding those spring colors and going with something that matches your eyes. :yike:

I prefer a few twigs and branches sticking out of what ever body parts are available. :yike: :yike: :yike:
