Hunting camouflage gear allows hunters to approach game more closely and increase the odds of filling their tags, but its effectiveness depends on each hunt’s specific environment and circumstances.
Camo patterns designed specifically for grassland hunting or tree stand hunting in the west may differ greatly, while some patterns were created for specific situations like waterfowl hunting.
Choosing the Right Camo Pattern
Selecting an effective camo pattern is essential to concealing hunting clothing and equipment. Many factors will play into this decision, including your hunting environment and game species. You may want to select camo patterns that complement both elements or use multipurpose camo that works effectively across a variety of environments and circumstances.
Foliage and colors should also play a factor in your hunting area; for instance, hunting in wooded settings requires camo patterns that resemble tree bark and leaves for optimal camouflage. Other considerations include whether or not you will use a tree stand, local hunting regulations and requirements that might mandate wearing blaze orange during certain times of the year for safety purposes, among other issues.
Camo patterns can be found in a range of hunting apparel and gear, from camo shirts and pants to blinds and stands. Quality camo products will give you maximum comfort and concealment during hunting trips.
Ghillie Suits
Ghillie suits are an indispensable asset when stalking and hunting, designed to break up your human silhouette so it becomes harder for animals to determine whether there is someone present or not.
Military snipers are known for spending upwards of 100 hours handcrafting their own ghillie suits from scratch, but if that seems like too much work or you lack the time, there are ready-made options on the market which come complete with netting, synthetic jute thread and directions – perfect for upright stalking!
Though highly effective, these suits may limit mobility. They can become caught on branches, twigs and leaves and require regular maintenance to look their best; typically worn by military snipers, hunters and Stunt & Action Actors who must remain hidden while performing.
Face Masks
Face masks can be useful tools in your camo hunting gear when temperatures drop during late season deer bow or spring turkey hunting, yet can impede on head movement at full draw and reduce hearing sensitivity. However, be wary of adding them into your arsenal: you don’t want any interference between head movement and hearing ability!
An outdoor hunter face mask featuring natural camo patterns will help you blend into any landscape – from forests floors and dense brush, to open fields. A Realtree EDGE camo face mask is particularly well suited to hunting in woodland environments with lush vegetation.
Snow camo hunting masks are essential in cold environments, employing white and light gray shades to mimic winter terrain. SC2 camo patterns work better in lush green environments as they incorporate earth tones into their design. Hunting face masks can easily be cleaned using water; unlike traditional camo paint, hunting masks don’t require you to spend extra time at the end of each day scraping greasy paint off of your skin!
