Who doesn’t wear camo to hunt

It does not hurt or harm hunting successes wearing camo, nor does it really help. Exceptions are with turkey and some bird hunting. What really works is noise discipline, wind and thermal awareness, movement control and odor control. Wild game really sense things in nature that does not belong and any of them affect your success rate way more than camo clothing does.
 
One of my favorite parts of hunting is blending in with the surroundings and becoming one with the landscape. Even if camo doesn’t help hunts at all, I don’t get that same nostalgic feeling of totally blending in when not in camo.
 
I took a nice Blacktail buck while wearing blue jeans, hickory shirt and a green watch cap.

The buck didn't seem to care!

Have a camo jacket but being a rifle hunter i wear orange on public land. Heard too many stories of someone getting shot because they were mistaken for some kind of animal or something. Also, if we're hunting as a group making a drive it is nice to be able to see others in the distance to keep track of each other.
