No brown, black or grey for me, only green, like a tree. Just hope no one is hunting trees during muzzle loader or rifle season.Brown unless its Colorado muzzleloader season.
I have a blaze orange shemagh I like to wear around my neck if I'm going to wear some solid browns.I like napping and laying down, from a distance, could look like a deer. I try to have something other than solid deer like colors, even if a bandana.
I think saying indistinguishable is pretty overdramatic.6 pages about which color to wear, even though pretty much all the answers (including blaze) are indistinguishable to a deer
More stealthy? Ehhh, probably depends on the camo or neutral, but I don't think there would be a significant difference either way. Equally stealthy, absolutely. A red and black plaid is seen by an ungulate as green and black, which simulates light and dark in foliage and breaks up the human outline well. Camo can have the same effect, and wearing contrasting neutrals can also have the same effect.I feel like the camo and neutrals are for more of our own eyes and make us think we're hidden, when really the red plaid of yesteryear was probably more stealthy, at least in the eyes of ungulates.
I guess stealthy wasn't really the word I was going for on the plaid, stealth needs to be more on the hunter's movements. What was going for was more along the lines of the plaid breaking up the outline more and doing just as good if not better than camo, all while not having to wear orange because deer aren't red plaid in color lol.More stealthy?

Honestly, you will be just fine in all three in my opinion. It is going to depend on your skill at hiding far more than what you are wearing. Breaking up silhouette, using shade, shadow, and shine, using cover effectively, hiding your face/eyes and staying still are going to be far more important. Wear whichever makes you most confident and comfortable. I wear all three: neutrals the most, plaids the second most, and camo the least. I'd wear more plaids but since I'm kind of picky about my clothing as far as comfort, functionality, and flexibility I find it easier to find what I want in solids than plaids.
I agree, some plaids can break you up just as well as anything out there.I guess stealthy wasn't really the word I was going for on the plaid, stealth needs to be more on the hunter's movements.

I totally agree all three will get the job done. Like you said it's all about breaking up your silhouette to help hid your movement better.
I usually wear solid bottoms, OD green mostly, and a camo or plaid top. I do wear camo bottoms turkey hunting though.
I recently discovered a color in under armour pants called bayou, I like it alot. Its like an OD green, coyote tan, and a touch of grey all blended together. Might be my new go to.
Ahh, the old ABCsAnything but Camo for me these days
That's why I wear an orange shemagh when I wear tan/brown.Kuiu Ash is a great solid color. I personally stay away from Black or any Tan color, I dont need to be mistaken for a bear or a deer...
