Yep, you’re right, I wear camo because I like camo, but I also enjoy wearing plaids and solids, I think one of the best things you can do is mix match the things you’re wearing, with colors of your surroundings where you’re hunting, weather it’s solids, plaids, or camo or a combination of all three, so for example I wear brown rubber boots, with grey pants tucked in, a olive green shirt/jacket and then throw a plaid or camo vest on, and a bucket/boonie hat on which I like because it helps break up your head/shoulders outline, and i can do some different mix of that with solids, plaids and camos, each day, variety is the spice of life in my world anyway you get the point, it doesn’t really matter like you where saying wear what you want just don’t be a huge contrast from your surroundings.
That's right. I'm doing some research of my own this year on wearing solid grays. I have a theory of it being the best option in all environments but we shall see.
Camo was invented for hunting on two legged game 😂 and after wars we stayed with that clothing and some people thinks:Why not use it in the hunting? My great grandfather was a bear hunter in mountains of Bosnia and he went to hunt in oldest and dirtiest clothing he could find and always had a meat on his table. But he know how to hide his smell and how to walk quiet and how to wait to game. Conclusion- camo will trick human eye not a bear or dear
Does this apply to black chest rigs and harnesses that don’t have a camo patterns and also aren’t a solid green color as a well? Does predator hunting like Coyote and varmints like Jackrabbits need involved camo patterns?
A little black is okay if you are in the timber. Too mush black looks out of place, especially in open terrain. Coyotes are very sharp as they are a predator so camo is a must in my opinion. They will sit back and watch to scope everything out and if you are not blending in they will see.
From my experience, how quiet your hunting clothes are is way more important than whether or not they are camo. Deer and elk have excellent hearing to go along with their nose. The new stretchy premium hunting clothes are awesome in a lot of ways...but the sound is totally different when you rub up against brush vs. a natural fabric like wool and animals cue into it immediately.
Gonna go out on a limb here and subit that deer haven't developed a strategy to distinguish red plaid from camo in the 100 years that they have been hunted. Turkeys, maybe, but I've seen them feeding on the side of the road with hundreds of different colored cars flying by only a few feet away. Go figure..... 🤷♂️
A lot of men went hunting in jeans/slacks and plaid back in the 50's, 60's etc.

That’s right
Agree 💯!
I think camo is most useful for hiding from other humans.
