Archery hunt in full camo? Or solid color ok?

[Legend]

I think i am going to let the real predators guide me. Nothing but leapord print for me this year!

If you can be still; then solids are fine. It is when motion is necessary (I usually like to move from time to time) that camo helps. Since your top half moves more, especially your arms, I see no big issue with solid pants and camp top.

That said anything that breaks up your outline is fine. So what is the best camo pattern to use??

The camo pattern on sale!

I typically wear solids when scouting and camo when hunting. No movement is key but if camo helps me get away with a little bit I'm all for it. Do you think camo would hinder or help you in a hunting situation?

I like wearing camo to hide from other humans!

Not getting caught moving, keeping the wind in your favor, removing glare and keeping quiet when needed are much more important!

Just curious what your thoughts are on archery elk hunting with solid color pants such as prana?

I see Corey Jacobson and others on youtube with full camo and my first thought about their visuals is that they show off their white faces in front of the elk.

I don’t like camo pants but I plan to conceal my white face.

One wonders what our Grandfathers did before the age of Realtree and Mossy Oak and Kuiu. How die the old folks ever take any game in plaid shirts and green wool pants? My attempt at sarcastic humor.

One of my greatest forms of entertainment is sitting in the Anchorage, Alaska airport and watching folks unload from the airlines fully clad in brand new, spotless, high tech camo from head to toe, including brand new hiking books which clearly have not been broken in. My Wife often asks: Why are they wearing their rain gear on the airplane and in the airport?

Probably wearing it due to luggage weight limits

If they're worried about gear weight on the big plane, they certainly ain't gonna cut it on the bush plane.

Winner!!

I believe archery hunting you need to be the most hidden as possible

Don't wear it often because it's a pain in tight brush but have definitely had some experiences that make me think an ASAT leafy suit works. Can't fool their nose but haven't gotten away with moving right towards elk at ~60 yds with their eyes on you and they just look through you like they can't quite figure it out.

Yeah, but they would have the extra luggage with the camo in it to transfer from the big aircraft to the little one... so it does make sense to wear a set on the way.
Besides, it may ne the coolest thing they wear this year!

I wear solid bottoms all season, sneak past elk without a thought, as long as im staying still i know theyre not gonna pick me out.

That said, i wear camo up top - thats where the motion is when i draw

If you consider how an elk perceives reality through their eyesight, which is essentially the human equivalent of 20-60 and they see 2 colors, there’s not much that most camo can actually achieve that creates an advantage. If you like it, wear it, but don’t base your perception of camo or camo pattern effectiveness on the judgement of your own eyesight.
