Match your camouflage to the background cover in your hunt zone. Then take things a step further by mixing patterns. Example: when archery hunting in mid-September, wear a jacket with green leaves and pants with darker limbs and shadows. Dual patterns help to break your outline when hiking around the woods,stillhunting and sitting in treestands.

What body parts move the most on a stand? Your hands as you glass,grunt call,lift your bow etc. Also, your face when you turn left or right to look for deer. Always wear camo gloves and a head net or face paint.

Purchase camouflage pants 3 inches longer than your normal inseam to keep light colored socks from sticking out.

Avoid direct sunlight. Try to face treestands west in the morning and east in the afternoon. Camouflage blends the best in shadows.

Set up on thick edges. Your camouflage will blend nicely with the cover as you watch for deer that naturally run the fringes.
