[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1040152, member: 33822"] I wear camo when I hunt too, but more for the hunting specific performance than the colors. I do think it can help when you're still and the elk are close. But a plaid flannel shirt is probably going to break up your pattern pretty good too. I was set up on a good vantage point this past rifle season, the hot weather caught me off guard and my lightest shirt was a solid black base layer. Yes, I had an orange vest on (colorado law during rifle season), but my arms really stood out being all black. I think a camo pattern would have helped had an elk been looking my direction while I was moving... reaching for gear, taking a drink, etc. movement from far off with a camo pattern would be very tough to see, while a solid color would not. And just think how awkward it would have been if somebody had taken my picture :D But seriously, although I agree with everybody else that being still is king, I think camo can really help in certain situations.
