If you go deer hunting big bucks do you change your camouflage pattern to blend in with your environment? I think it is important when deer hunting to naturally blend in with the foliage around you. There are many different brands of camouflage on the market to choose from. I also think it’s important to pick one that is similar to the foliage you will be hunting. I really like the camouflage that Team Realtree has to offer. The last thing I want when deer hunting big bucks is for a deer to see me before I see it. Deer are smart, especially big bucks. I do believe that the number one thing deer see is movement, but I also believe you need to blend in. Early in deer hunting season the foliage is mostly nice and green. That’s when I like to use the US Army camouflage pattern. I was in the Army, and I really like that pattern early in the season. I’ve had big bucks, and does for that matter walk right up to me when I have this pattern on. As long as I have foliage around me and I don’t make any movement that the deer can pick up on, they won’t see me. I like to make sure I wear a head net, paint my face, and wear gloves. This pattern works well all year in pines. But when the leaves change and I’m hunting in hardwoods I like to find a pattern that is similar to the colors of the hardwoods. If I was to ever go to Canada deer hunting big bucks I would probably wear white to blend in. It’s always good to give yourself every little edge you can when deer hunting, especially for big bucks. Blending in is just one more way to help you be more successful at consistently taking trophy whitetails.

One time I was perched in a white oak early during bow season. The leaves were still green and I had foliage all around me. I had on a camouflage pattern that matched my background, and I had a nice eight pointer come right up to my tree. I had my face painted and my gloves on. He never even saw me. My camouflage did its job. I just didn’t do mine. I missed him at almost point blank range! He ducked my arrow and ran out in a clear cut and turned around and started blowing at me, but he never saw me because I blended in. That buck could not figure out what I was-I looked like a tree to him. That’s why it’s important to blend in. You will be more successful if you do.This button buck(my son Noah) blends in perfectly with his choice of camouflage
