Thread: How much camo is too much?

An older bush hunter I know and respect fairly well swears by three things as far as camo: Any blaze colour is just hi-vis greyscale to a deer, and its a blob that isn't part of the natural surroundings. Any skin showing is going to blow a stalk, particularly hands and face. And most camo designs lack the contrast required to blend in with the background so you just look like a blob anyway. His current thinking is that the stoney creek tuatara is too dark but the alpine is OK, hunters element pattern seems to work best and has put him within feet of deer with the wind right, and army DPM/flecktarn is again too dark. He recently tried wearing blaze camo patterns of both orange and blue and had deer bust off him for the first time in years.

Mind you, if you're rubbish at finding deer in the bush and sneaking in on them, does camo help or hinder your efforts?

Just wear whatever you want to as long as it does the job.
Perhaps in the future technology will revolutionise everything camo wise.
Gillie suits used consistently.....?
Any deer farmer / hunter use then on a consistent basis.
