I dunno if I buy into all the camo hype, our forefathers hunted in jeans and flannels and were just as successful, but I still buy some anyway. Can't hurt (except my wallet). Scent and movement are key. Anyway, I like natural gear. Here in northern Virginia the oaks and hickory get that brownish/gray color and it blends real well, even better if you're on the ground. I used to get picked in realtree but not in natural gear. Hunted the same stands, had mature does very close several times. One I've nicknamed the hag used to blow at me quite often, not this year. My hunting partner told me fifty yards away he couldn't even tell I was in the tree. So take that for what it's worth.
