I gave up camo three yeas ago, no drop in deer sightings or shot opportunities. I came to the conclusion that camo clothing is the second biggest con in the hunting industry today, the so called scent lock clothing has first nailed first by a long shot.

Google search the law suit filed against Scentlocks claims about eliminating scent.

Clint, I have a favorite camo shirt, too, my palmetto camo. Everytime I put it on it seems like I bag something or get a shot.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I think this whole primitive archery thing is about passing on traditions, and for that matter, taking up traditions.  When Clint posted the picture of himself in his Dad's camo, I got a little choked up.  That's just the heart and soul of why this grips me so deeply.  Passing it on and carrying it on.

Clint does it the hard way, he doesn't look to buy his advantages in the woods.  He earns 'em and learns 'em.  And he has the red arrow this fall to prove it!

it really saddens me that people figure they can buy success.
I grew up on a farm in the early 80s.
time to hunt was far and few between until all the crops were off.
if a young inexperienced kid could kill deer  wearing dirty blue jeans and a dirty flannel shirt reeking of cow manure and diesel fuel with his hand me down ben pearson recurve and by playing the wind.
than almost anyone should be able too.
i'll stick to my plaid wool or if I'm feeling real fancy my second hand leafy suit.
they can keep there  high $ crap

I killed my first long beard with a shotgun at ten yards wearing a pair of blue jeans. And he never knew what hit him.

I have nothing against those,that feel they need it.Its  their choice and money,they can spend it on whatever they want.I only take exception to those,that tell me i need to have it, to be a real hunter and have success.

For deer, I've taken more without camo than with camo. Waterfowls another story and where it every hunt.

I've been buying camo for my son as he grows every two weeks and I can't afford $80 for a popular name brand sweatshirt. The marketing is ridiculous along with the cost. My daughter wants and wears camo, but doesn't want it with pink all over too.

I have a few articles from my hunting mentor that I wear when out and think that is very cool Clint. It's gotta make your dad proud :) I got that same shrinking problem too, what gives? >:D

I hit dicks sporting goods up right after the first of the year.  I live close to one so it's not a problem to check every couple days but I got a setup for my boys at 75% off

I agree you don't need camo just break color pattern and sent lock ya if your down wind game over. :o But I wear camo because there is nothing better than being the talking tree when a fellow hunter goes sneaking buy >:D

Don't you find the resulting smell offensive, not to mention ruins the set-up for future hunting?
