Main thing is to break up your outline. In other words don’t look like a biped. After all we are the only bipeds in the woods, so if you look like a biped it is a dead giveaway. Thus, I don’t like the camo with a small print pattern, blends together at distance. Wear the camo they came out with in WWII, and ‘Nam.
Colors: Other critters have the blue thing too. For a year or two blue was all the rave for bass plugs, now you never hear of it.
As for white: What tree species is easiest to pick out in the woods?
Most important is to sit still. I was thinking about that in church this morning. While growing up I got a poke in the ribs every time I moved. Since Mom is now in the nursing home, I can twitch and wiggle all I want. Sitting still at a deer stand is no easier than in church.
When I was a pre-teen I trucked around in the woods with Kenny Waters (Mom didn’t like that so well as he was 5 yeas older than me, and a high school dropout) he was good at stepping back into the bushes and standing still then suddenly saying “BOO” 2 feet away from you. Worked every time, and we didn’t know what camo was.
Somebody help me!! Like Janice said “It don’t come with age.”
I’m more confident wearing camo and I think that is important. The people that catch the most fish are those that EXPECT to catch fish. Same with a lot of other things.
After going out stumping today in 90/90 weather, I also have to say jeans are too hot.
