Sitting still is key ,staying dry and warm helps .

Why do you think you need camo or the newest materials to do so? Marketers gotcha looks like

I hunted with cheap camo my whole life until last year,  I'll never go back.

Most all camo blobs out beginning at a short distance . In the pic. I’m wearing a Mossy Oak camo T shirt . Looks like a dark blob .

Ya know, if you were standing under the branch where the leaves are you might blend in more. Is that a new age crossbow you're holding in that pic?

I own a lot of this stuff. Love the raptor pattern , it’s light , quiet and warm. I’ll pay to keep warm . Can’t hunt if you freeze out and go home. Although even before buying this gear I rarely got cold. Find Waldo.

Is that Brad Pitt right next to the birds wing(viewer’s right)?

Camo all the way.  Been in camo for a major part of hunting, snow camo is great.  My ghillie is old and somewhat ragged but it serves me well in the woods.

I’m a firm believer that camo makes ZERO difference for hunting other than snow camo. When on the ground in the snow you disappear with snow camo.

I’m a big believer in gray’s in a tree stand.

I agree..I like some of these new camouflage patterns.. I like them , I doubt the deer even notice.

Now that my budget is higher I have a lot of cool camo gear. I'm fairly certain I've still shot more deer in sweatpants and a Hoody(cheap and quiet).

Do you have any new synthetic, or Merino wool blend base layers for your tracking expeditions in the Daks?  Makes sense you're a fan of snow camo on those.  Seems like you'd get the most out of quality wicking base layers for those long ass treks you do up there?

I’ve been wearing merino base layers when it’s cold for probably 20yrs.

If it’s above 20ish I wear under armor heat gear under my wool. It wicks well and is light enough that I don’t sweat too much. My problem with them is their quality is going down with the last 2 sets I’ve bought haven’t held up more than a season. My first pair probably lasted 10yrs. I’m looking for something similar that will hold up better.

Just use solid colors and forget about it

I have a dark gray ghillie suit that does the best job of concealment of anything I have tried. It is a loose-leaf almost a Tree-bark color. The only problem is that it is difficulty to shoot a bow with it on. Very easy to have unexpected interferences.

Little confused here .... did the new ENCON Rules for wearing bright Orange include during Bow Season or can an individual still hunt with full Camo on ?

I don't have it all right in front of me at the moment, but I believe the wording included "during the firearms season".
