[QUOTE="Munch, post: 2763890, member: 36823"] Hunting camo is completely different than camo designed for the military. IMO, hunting camo has gone the way of golf clubs...that is to say marketing has taken over. You need that new set of golf clubs every year to bring your handicap down a few more strokes. LOL! Hunting camo for "game" mammals has gone pretty in the same marketing direction. A hunting camo company marketing department will tell you need that new camo pattern to blend in with a specific region you intend to hunt. And while that may be true, the game animal could care less. For mammals, it all boils down to the colors in the spectrum they see. So the most important thing for hunting camo, is to break up your human form with a camo pattern with colors outside the animal's visual spectrum. Seek out articles from veterinary research entities about colors animals see; peer reviewed articles can be very enlightening (no pun intended). And don't forget about those animals that see UV and IR light. Here are a couple of articles.
