Camouflage Clothing | How to Match Your Hunt

Matching Your Camouflage Clothing to Your Hunting Conditions

Powered by Stone Road Media

The correct clothing choice can make or break a hunt, and not just because of how warm or cool it keeps you. Your camouflage clothing should allow you to disappear into the surrounding environment, making you as close to invisible to your game animal as possible. However, many of the hunters we know probably have a set ofcamouflage clothing that they wear for hunting regardless of where they go or what conditions they’re hunting in. Maybe we’ve even been guilty of it ourselves from time to time.

For illustration purposes, let’s say you typically hunt in an area dominated by hardwoods, and yourcamouflage clothing
sports patterns to match it, like Realtree Xtra. That’s great! But then plans change, so you switch stands and are in a dark conifer forest. Suddenly your hardwood pattern doesn’t blend in as well. Or maybe it snows a couple inches overnight, covering the forest in white. If you plan any kind of stalking hunt, you’re going to stick out like wearing a Cubs shirt at a White Sox game.
