camo

[Andrew Erickson]

What do you all use for camo for duck hunting? my buddies told me i could get by with wearing some camo id wear for bow hunting and then i have the normal camo "grassy" top. Can you get by with most deer camo or will i have to spend some money on the classic duck camo. thanks

Looking at the cattails from the highway I almost think it is faded carhart time already ! Barely any green left where I am going. Just a little bit above the water line. Seems very early for this. Usually I paint my gun every 2 weeks as the season progresses but I don't have to this year ! To be honest they do not make very good camo in my eyes. Most times when you see another guy across the marsh it looks like Johnny Cash standing there in all black.

Just for giggles, I took an old pair of my insulated carhart overalls and and a black magic marker and started drawing long criss-crosses on them and I couldn't believe how much they looked like browned cattails. Don't know if I'll actually wear them, but it was fun to see.

i'm pretty partial to max-4 hd and i know a lot of people like mossy oak duck blind. Of course people were not being seen by ducks for decades with the classic camo.

if you are a little greener or a little browner than the surroundings i don't think it is gonna matter much.

Stand/sit still and don't look up and you will be good. With that being said I am a s***er for different camo patterns based on what I am doing.

[bobbymalone]

yep don't move.

pretty sure you can say sucker, hntnbux. it's spelled the same as the fish

[HNTNBUX]

Thanks I will keep that in mind.

I remember hunting opener in the Atkin area sometime back and the pics we got are of us holding limits of ringnecks and the camo we were wearing was the old classis woodland camo and the sourrounding trees were red,green,orange you know bright fall colors and evergreens the trick was keeping still that 90 percent of it.

Until recently I've done all my bird hunting in woodland bdus.

I now love MAX-4 for waterfowl and some of Realtree for everything else.

First pair of duck bibs I had was an old pair of carharts. Worked great.

as long as youre broken up and your bare face isnt sticking out , it doesnt matter

I think opening weekend dumb ducks you could wear blaze orange as long as you don't expose yourself as danger. After that I would try to really look like the surrounding area your hunting in and be totally hidden and don't expose your face. I put face camo paint on to stop the glare when it's sunny out. An exposed face glares like a light bulb in the sun and any pressured ducks will see this and won't work your decoys!
