cause it makes you feel invisible
cause it looks cool
cause it breaks up your outline
cause it looks cool
cause they do see some colors but not all
cause it looks cool
cause it comes in nice modern materials that keep you warm
cause it looks cool
cause hunters cant see you as well or at all
cause.......well you know

Your camo and your seat covers have to match, also the camo around your wheel wells and rocker panels should match the camo you are wearing.

It's a uniform.
Most guys are proud to wear. It automatically distinguishes us from other people. Just plain old human nature.

I've always wondered about this myself! Won't the animal you seek be able to pick up your scent anyway? Please don't beat me up, just wondering.

for rifle hunting, i dont like it. there are some items of technical gear that you dont get a choice for, but mostly i dont like it because its a pain to take on and off all the time when i go to town for lunch or gas or whatever. i dont like wearing it when im around normal people simply because i dont need to advertise what im doing to those who hate hunting. i have no need to dress for the role or play a part....some guys just think its cool to wear the uniform. i dont care if you do or dont wear camo....but ive never understood why so many do care what i wear???

Camo is a chick magnet.

It's almost impossible to buy a hunting coat these days with lots of pockets and a quiet outer shell that isn't camo. I'm not a big fan of camo but my hunting coat is camo simply because I couldn't find a suitable hunting coat in my price range that wasn't camo.

Yup, lets you identify the out of town hunters, in the Sundre Sobeys.

Go Carhart. I don't wear camo either. Just Carhart work or play. Goodstuff. Comes in a few colors too.
