Default Does everyone wear camo?

I started doing a bit of research, as to when hunters began wearing camo, as it seems every year new products come out etc. It seems that when we look at the old photos of hunting camps of 50's etc, no one was wearing camo.... but had lots of deer hanging in camp.


Something to gnaw on


I have to wear 400 sq in" of upper body vest here in Montana, that is a given. But I'm not paying out fixed income money to support the camo companies, when I really feel that camo is not needed.

Huh. You know, I never thought about it that way, JB.
I don't hunt deer much anymore. When I rifle hunted I didn't worry about camo but bow hunting is a whole different game. I usually do camo up when coyote hunting, especially in the daylight hours.

What camo pattern do y'all like? I use different styles depending on the time of year and where I am.

I don't hunt anything anymore, but if I did, I would probably try a digital pattern.

I don't hunt except for BOGO's at Walmart. Camo's a fashion statement now. I got an idea for the perfect city boy to look country. A camo flannel shirt with a collar that's red on the underside when you flip it up. It'll give the look of a red neck and a camo shirt. Winner winner chicken dinner!
