Do you ACTUALLY need camouflage to hunt? 

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.

A lot of men went hunting in jeans/slacks and plaid back in the 50's, 60's etc.

I think camo is most useful for hiding from other humans.

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..... 🤷‍♂️

Nope... I've killed a 10 point buck wearing a green shirt, brown Hollister shorts with American eagle sandals lol

Agree 💯!

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.
