how much camo do you use!

[340mag]

IM a huge beleiver in properly used camo, I know that some of you guys aren,t and when your willing to take long range shots I can readily see where camo has a limited effect on success, but I always try to get in as close as possiable before shooting for extremely percise shot placement, ,I personally feel that trying to get to under 50 yards before firing adds a great deal to the challange and satisfaction of the hunt! now that in no way means I won,t take a 300 yard shot if that as close as I can get,but I will pass a reasonable 300 yard shot if I feel I can get close almost every time! and yes I practice at long range frequently. but over the years I have seen good camo make a big differance in how close I, and other hunters can get before being spotted

thats not me in the picture but IT might as well be because it looks almost identical, Ive had numerous hunters walk by at 5-15 yards and never give the slightest indication that I was there, Ive had deer and ELK pass within a few yards with no indication that I was there also,thats one of the reasons Im convinced it helps. now Im not saying its necessary, and some of my friends wear black/green check wool shirts and brown slacks and still kill elk, but they also are making longer range shots on average, and see less game on average, by their own admission. you would be amazed at how your damn near invisable wearing that camo if your sitting in the shade under some low hanging branches on a ridge while watching for game to pass, so much so that Ive had hunters not be able to spot me even after speaking to them!, one guy only 5yards away almost jumped strait in the air he was so startled when I said" goodmorning! seen anything?" he spun around searching for me and still did not see me untill I stood, then was startled as if I arose out of the ground in front of him,we had a brief conversation, then he left. later that day one of my hunting partners mentioned having a conversation with the guy where he mentioned running into a talking bush, my partner had a good laugh but admitted that was a good description!

Looks like someone tared and leaved you, how did you do that.

I just wear some old army stuf, and a face net.

I also totally DETEST HUNTER ORANGE, It makes me feel like a TARGET, thats not me in the picture but IT might as well be because it looks almost identical, Ive had numerous hunters walk by at 5-15 yards and never give the slightest indication that I was there, Ive had deer and ELK pass within a few yards with no indication that I was there also,thats one of the reasons Im convinced it helps. now Im not saying its necessary, and some of my friends wear black/green check wool shirts and brown slacks and still kill elk, but they also are making longer range shots on average, and see less game on average, by their own admission. you would be amazed at how your damn near invisable wearing that camo if your sitting in the shade under some low hanging branches on a ridge while watching for game to pass, so much so that Ive had hunters not be able to spot me even after speaking to them!, one guy only 5yards away almost jumped strait in the air he was so startled when I said" goodmorning! seen anything?" he spun around searching for me and still did not see me untill I stood, then was startled as if I arose out of the ground in front of him,we had a brief conversation, then he left. later that day one of my hunting partners mentioned having a conversation with the guy where he mentioned running into a talking bush, my partner had a good laugh but admitted that was a good description!

the expence... is not that large, at about $40-$70
youll need one or two packs of SNEEKY LEAVES and a HEAD NET added to the normal camo

since i archery hunt i rely on my camo. i am a big fan of predator camo. but more important than the camo pattern is how you set up. setting up in the shadows with a proper wind will get you a long way with animals in front of you so long as you arent all herky jerky.
