There are certain pieces of clothing that every hunter should have in their arsenal. However, as is the case with pretty much every piece of gear, most hunters will argue which camouflage pattern or brand is the most effective. And they'd be right to do so. When choosing camo clothes, there are a couple of things to consider, like for instance what you're hunting for, where you are hunting as well as the season. For that very reason, in today's blog post, I will talk about the different camo patterns and hopefully will help you narrow down your choices so that you choose camo clothes that will give you the best chance at success this season.
Woodland
This is a very popular choice as it is designed to disappear into wooded areas. It's made of tighter patterns which allow hunters to blend seamlessly into their forested surroundings. There are models with patterns with greens and leaves for the early season, and there are others that have brown and bare branches – most suitable for hunting in late fall/early spring. When buying camo clothes, make sure to also take into account the style of hunting you prefer. If you’re more in a tree stand, you might get away with more contrast like limbs against the sky. On the other hand, if spot-and-stalk is more like your game, you should go with softer breakups to mesh your profile and surroundings.
Brush
Brush camo clothes are more open because the environment in which hunters catch their prey is more open. Such a pattern is usually found in Western terrain as it helps with blending into the surroundings when there is no object to add contrast. Brush camo print will also help you blend in with dead grasses, dirt and other minimal colors that are seen in this terrain.
Snow
When embarking on a deep winter hunt and snow blankets the terrain, you need to look beyond white clothing. Snow camo will mix in darker colors that will confuse your prey as you blend effortlessly into the snowy landscape. This camo pattern is designed to limit the amount of contrast your profile showcases against the white environment. However, don’t be afraid to mix your snow camo with different clothing prints. If you are nestled against a tree in late-season, wearing snow print pants and a woodland top might be a better combination than an all-winter outfit.
