Camo, is it to hide or mental..?or both
CAMO,
Love it or hate it, its here to stay. Camo has been here for a good many years, filtering down from the wars etc. to the weekend warriors in the hunting world. Does it really hide you the hunter or doesn't build a bit of mental confidence or does it give you the "ten foot tall and bullet proof" feeling. You now see in every magazine, when people are hunting, every spare inch of the body is covered with camo, from head to feet, even the boots. But do we really need that much? or would just drab looking clothing do the trick? Should camo be left for the urban streets?
I think a bit of both..I know I go back to my uncle on hunting, he never had camo, and he was the best hunter I have ever known, he used drab clothing and used great field craft in his hunting techniques. His most common techniques was, being quite and still, since deer are colour blind and notice moverment, if you never move, or move slowly, deer will not see you. So does the camo help the hunters that figet? What about your hands and face? OK, but does it need to be camo? I think you see where I am coming from, Camo is a huge business and they have used some very high profile people saying that Camo is the end all be all for hunting...
For me,
I wear some camo and some not, its more about no sticking out like s sore thumb, my gloves, they are a pair my mum bought me 20 years ago, but they work. I have a hat something to help mask my face, but for me I was lucky and had Uncle Ralph on my case about being still, taking your time, walk a little look a lot and being still.
Love it or hate it, its here to stay, if you like it wear it, wear it from heat to toe. If you don't, remember drab clothing to match the surroundings, wear a hat and gloves and be still...
