This was a good one. Pretty amazing, that the military one, the woodlands camo, still disappears better than the majority of them.

[@stevew3718]

Good job in gathering all of these patterns to give people the perspective of what each camo would look like on different scenarios inthe whitetail woods. Honestly you can't really go wrong with any of them. For the ones that don't blend in on the ground look great in a tree and visa versa. then there are patterns that blend in on all situations. Even the old school woodland camo looks great.

[@CamoMatrix]

Thanks for the comment. It does take a bit of time to gather, cut out and move and scale the camo images.

[@timgruver5932]

The best presentation I've seen on camo. Can get a good idea of what might be best for your type of hunting environment. The best I've found, and have used for at least 20 years, is a " loose leaf" type. I've got a suit each in faded green and beige/brown. With hood and face cover you're nearly invisible. The great thing is it can be worn over any clothing and removed easily. And it breaks up the human form which nearly every animal has been taught to avoid. With wearing the " HECS" clothing under my leafy suit I've had deer, raccoon, coyotes and wild hogs within 10 feet of me. Even cattle on their own pastures have moved by not noticing me. And if you know anything about hunting around cows you know they notice new/strange things in their pastures. Thanks for making this. I've got to get my son to watch it too.

[@Krueger2014]

The Browning-Wasatch, as far as I can tell, is actually a ATACS Tree/Dirt X camo pattern That one's the best by a mile, in my opinion. Perfect backdrop color (distant trees/dirt), with the perfect pattern disruption colors(wood/leaf). And no colors that don't belong. The second I let my eyes fade, I'm able to lose the figure. Runners up: all great patterns, just not my personal favs Multi-use: Under Armor - Forest (great pattern breaks up figure well, but not mute enough for me) FirstLite - Specter (a little bright, but almost as good as ATACS) Mossy Oak (classic, almost perfect, not mute enough for me) Natural Gear - SC2 Green (a little dark) Kryptek - Altitude (make the white more tan & it's a win) Pnuma-Caza (same as UA-Forest, break up the tan with lines/dots) Multi-Cam (a little bright) Greens: True Timber - HTC Green (green is a little bright, background color is nice) Kryptek - Mandrake (a little too green, needs bright foliage) RealTree - Timber (very mute, just not my color choices) Browns: Natural Gear - Origonal (great against only trees/dead leaves, not as much against foliage) Under Armor - Barren (good for the same as the Forest pattern, just tan) True Timber - Prairie (kind of looks like desert ATACS, tbh)

Great video! I loved the comparisons of the patterns and the different perspectives. After reading several comments, I say, wear what gives you the most confidence in the woods. And, I agree with you...controlling movement and working wind are the biggest factors to success.

[@boomchang1]

I would like to add years ago i had and eye injury to my one eye, and out of one eye i was color blind seen in black white a and grey kinda like deer. The ASAT camo pattern was the most invisible to me, at that time. Remember that most game except for turkey are kinda color blind too and that is what they see somewhat. This is from personal experience. Mossy Oak original bottom land did well under most circumstances for me. In my area of the country that stuff from the ground and trees still renders one the most unnoticed. I like your comment at the end the best THE OLD FRED BEAR saying "Stay still and be quiet" That still is the best.

[@CamoMatrix]

Yes, foe the most part, most patterns will perform great if you don’t move and remain quiet. Good wind of course. I like to say that in the right conditions, if you can follow those two rules, you can wear a Ronald McDonald suit.

[@GaTiger11]

Regarding the flannel and blue jeans, I can straight up say that I've killed plenty of whitetails while wearing blue jeans and earth toned tee shirts and/or jackets. I've also killed plenty others while wearing Army style m81 woodland camo, as well. ATACS camo would likely work pretty well in my part of Georgia as would some of the Huntworth camos also.

[@ed5042]

I have been using ASAT camo since the late 80's. Scary how it works. Walked up on a guy, like 15 yards, who was groundsitting during small game in the Uhwarries wearing six color camo face mesh and full camo, DID NOT SEE HIM and I was actually scouting the area,focused.

[@CamoMatrix]

by six color are you referring to the desert six color camo from the military. If so, yeah, I think that would do very well. ASAT is "brown" based and says that if green were so good, why are predators and/or prey not green. Brown is the ticket.

This is my 68th year of deer hunting (gun, bow, camera).Have tried many different camo patterns over the years. The two best(by far) were; the Woolrich Camo jacket made for Eddie Bauer in the mid 1960's, and the original Treee Bark fleece made for L.L Bean (also in the 1960's). I do most of my deer hunting from tree stands in Central New York.

If I were limited to what sports stores offer and no way to order a pattern, I would choose RealTree Original, and/or Mossy Oak Bottomland. I have taken those patterns into the woods I hunt hung them up among the trees and walked off for yards. They seemed to blend in just fine in Fall.

[@torencalduris3114]

How did you get the lighting on the all the camo patterns to match the lighting in the woods? That's impressive!

[@CamoMatrix]

I had taken a photo of a camo pattern in that setting and then adjusted the lighting of the catalog images to match the real photo. Then applied that same filter to all camos. I will never be able to truly match real lighting but you can get the idea of how something may or may not blend. Check out my newer videos if you can.

[@bbmopar3834b]

Can you do this video with both Tryzeen patters, Thlete, and any other new ones you may possibly have. Im finding more camos that I would have thought of trying by watching your videos. I have a few pices of Firstlite, and Treezen. I honestly go for comfort and durability of clothing, but I like to see how they look on your videos. Thank you again!!!

[@CamoMatrix]

Have you seen this one? It doesn't have my newest version of deer vision but if I were to redo this one with new deer vision, and the new camo, would that achieve what you are looking for? It is 90 patterns! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6eyhneVjbipqq8

[@IMBrute-ir7gz]

I'm an old geezer who settled on Predator Fall Grey back in 1989, and I believe that as far as hunting whitetails from a treestand is concerned, as long as the wind is in your favor and they didn't catch you moving, any camo will do. That being said, some of these camos you presented seem pretty awesome. However. it pretty much boils down to what deer actually see, as opposed to what WE see. Probably a huge difference!

[@CamoMatrix]

Agree, after wind, movement and noise, camo is the last thing we need to worry about. In my newer videos, i have a deer vision filter, to see how they may see the camo that is based off of a study performed by the University of Georgia. With that info, what i can tell, is that most camo worn is really made to be appealing to human vision. When it comes down to really disrupting and confusing what a deer sees camo shape and color change drastically. From that perspective, i believe that there are only a few patterns out there that come close to concealing the human shape and/or take deer vision in mind. I have experimented with a few patterns of my own and from what looks the best in deer vision is far different from what is out there. As far as predator patterns are concerned, they are one of those who have the right idea.

[@bch5513]

Yup. I wear ASAT and predator. I hate the way it looks but can't argue with results. Had too many deer look THROUGH me.

[@Gunnyfelker]

Realtree & mossy oak, the cheapest thing you can buy were some of the best. A lot of the high end stuff was for the mountains. You should have had Pacific HBT/Duck Hunter camo and Crye Mulitcam Pacific. Good video.

I think the best patterns are the ones that have lots of contrast. So bold color differences instead of subtle. Personally, for deer hunting I think the other qualities of the clothing (warmth, comfort, durability, noise, scent control, etc.) are more important than the camo pattern. I believe in getting the best quality that fits your budget in that regard. For me in really love Sitka. They’re 100% worth it.

[@CamoMatrix]

I own multiple Sitka patterns and he gear is quality. People do have issue with the price but depending on the types of hunts you go on, the durability, comfort and engineering that goes into a quality garment is worth it.

Like for example first lite pants in conifer, dry earth, and ash grey with the different types of camo jackets and then switch it, a brands particular camo pant with a solid color top, with "deer vision" and human vision. Also, what may be a good idea for another video would be different solid color pants in the colors I mentioned above with different styles and colors of flannel with the "deer vision" and human vision comparisons. Of course some camo companies may object to the flannel and solid color pants video lol.

Looks like I have my work cut out for me. I’m working on a 60 plus pattern video series with various backgrounds. I am starting to feel the bigger blocky patterns are better for hiding the human shape. I have actually made up my own that will be in the mix to test my theory. My opinion, for deer,/elk hunting at least that to small of a pattern doesn’t hide the human shape enough. Be sure to watch my other videos. kzbin.info/aero/PLft-QMIPuJlY750_sEuLr91FSbaLOiU8O

Interesting. Not sure Specter was in this video but i have it in a bunch since then. It is interesting how they perceive a threat and maybe the roadway was associated with threat. Last week I got thirty yards to one before it bolted and wondered why it took so long. I figured that it was because the vision isnt great and with the break up of camo and trees, brush etc that the deer have to wait either for better vision (closer) or scent to make their decision.

It’ll save you time and money, and not upset the Mrs. because you can’t find what you want. Hope this helps. Oh, 1 more thing. Check military surplus stores.

Yes, I wish I could get them all for a real presentation. I have tried this with some.

[@jakudahsymba5453]

Only problem is you’re taking stock camo photos that were shot using white light from the front and putting them in an environment with sunlight which is warmer and at the 11:00 ish position..

[@CamoMatrix]

I agree. I have tried to address this newer videos.

[@justins8768]

Sitka Elevated was the best up in the tree I thought

[@CamoMatrix]

Its a good camo that was made for that elevate position. I have found that some of the fleece outerwear has UV brighteners in the fabric in Elevated. Of course if you are up in a tree, the sky will be glowing with uv rays so it may not matter. In lower light situations, it might matter.

[@justins8768]

@@CamoMatrix interesting!. Never heard that before

[@echoauxgen]

#1 a deer will never shoot at you and camo is for war!!! Those are tooo expensive!! Deer are color blind and can NOT see blaze orange but people can. The biggest mistake is washing any clothing in any detergent after 1980 when they put brighteners in it. Some years ago I was in Walmart and saw the clown suit it is called blaze orange sweat suit with dark limbs scatter on it. I wore it one cool morning scouting deer track the day before open season. I was setting in front of a cabin on the edge of a 100 yard field and a 4 point walked across and then stopped and ate some stuff not more than 3 feet in front of me and walked around me for a long 30 min. (I sat still) and four more big bucks ate out in the field. The next morning I put on my Mossy Oak camo all warm and cosy and again the young 4 point came across the field BUT at about 50 yards bellowed and ran, enough said. The best camo I have ever worn was Marine Corps desert camo it is the same color as the leafs on the ground. Dressed all warm under my camo I ALWAYS wear the clown sweats over as well as over my backpack. I hunt in MS. and Ala. and fill my freezer and some friends every year. Yes long ago the red flannel shirt was used in the woods by loggers so as not to be shot But with new brighteners the blue jeans glow and before sunrise and after sunset you will glow like a state trooper for a mile. Also put some of the new deer scent on a couple socks with hot hands in side, They will come right up to your blind and sniff.

[@renwhite1809]

My dilemma is those bright greys that Sitka uses look great mid day in the stand from an angle in the tree but against a solid tree come dusk you’re going to stick out right ?

[@CamoMatrix]

Which Sitka Pattern are you thinking about? Elevated 2? SubAlpine?

[@letsgobrandon7297]

Sitka makes good camo patterns but not spending that much on overpriced hunting clothes on principle alone. I have success with Walmart realtree hunting camo so $1000 camo is out of the picture for me.

[@CamoMatrix]

I feel ya! Only problem I found with Walmart hunting camo is that most of the gear has UV brighteners embedded in the fabric.

[@letsgobrandon7297]

Yeah that’s true, I always do the first wash in the detergent that’s suppose to get rid of UV brighteners but have had a camo shirt that had it after the wash. Have bought multi cam from under armor which is nice so wasn’t being fully truthful about only Walmart clothes lol.

[@CamoMatrix]

I have found some walmart camo had brighteners and some don’t. Check out this video I did about UV killers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7ZlKCHod6FjdU

[@marshallsee9794]

I have personally seen my step dad in flannel and blue jeans kill so many deer that I’m saddened about all the camo I’ve purchased . Lol nice job👊💪🇺🇸

[@CamoMatrix]

The flannel does break up that human shape more that people realize. If you wore a blue onesie it would work if you stayed still. When quality camo comes into play, is when you are looking to stay and hunt longer. If you have any camo you don’t use that still has some life in it, list it on my camo classifieds camohuntnstuff.com/camoclassifieds.html

[@deerbeerdeerbeer]

The sound effects made me Drowzee but it was a good watch

[@CamoMatrix]

Thanks. I have been using that same background sound on many of my videos. Most people find it relaxing, although I did have someone tell me the crow noise was a bit much (like i had something to do with it). I recorded it while hunting in a treestand. Check out my other videos with over 90 patterns now but still the great sleepy background noise.

[@RV_Chef_Life]

I just have to state the fact lighting is everything. You take a picture off a website that was taken under different lighting conditions, and a host of other camera settings and put that in a photo with again a host of different settings, conditions, and distance. Really not the best comparison in the least

[@CamoMatrix]

You are right. Capturing the true appearance with lighting and shadows would be impossible. Also true about the different lighting for each pattern. In some cases, the same pattern for a pair of pants and a jacket were so different they didn’t appear to be the same color. I have tried to address this in newer videos but hope you get the general idea of the pattern and its potential.

[@Matt-416]

Yeah.... I get it. But you messed up when you said "whitetail woods". I've knocked down 210 pound buck in a mucky swamp in Georgia. Whacked a 250lb buck in the Boreal pines of Northern Maine, and tagged a 61lb buck (8 points) in the hardwood forests of northern PA. Camo is situational... But technique is paramount. I've seen a guy wearing a yellow plaid shirt and blue jeans, actively smoking a cigarette, stalk a buck to within 10ft... and guys in full ghillie suits hosed down in scent-killer spook a buck and 200 yards. Technique... not camo is the key.

[@jbcurdog72]

Why only one pattern from Mossy oak??? They have several more... and you didn't even show their top pattern.

[@CamoMatrix]

This is an older video. Most of their patterns are on the CamoMatrix.com tool now and also on my channel as individual video's or camo showdowns.

Deer don't see color like we do.

[@CamoMatrix]

Yes, they lack the red cone and UV filter so reds, browns, orange and some darker green is greyish and blues and UV is enhanced. I have tried to capture this in my newer vidoes. Give this one a try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5eokImaZ6eAbdE

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@CamoMatrix so true. And i have lots of camo, but this day, i wasn't even planning to hunt. Had just finished a week-long trip, and had run out to scout for a friend who had an upcoming trip. Late in the day, i was coming down from higher areas, and as i was passing my lower, late-season area, i decided to hike in and put some cams out. And i wouldn't have stopped, but what made me, was i also had new boots, which i hadn't hiked in yet. Decided i'd go for a hike, test the boots and put up the cams. Got the first cam set up, and was hardly quiet doing it, then continued on to the next spot. Maybe 50 yards from that cam, i walked right into a big buck.

They do, I was kind of joking, but I was trying to get the point across that camo doesn't really make you a better hunter. I know many guys that have killed big bucks in blue jean and a flannel, sometimes it is just the wind, direction of deer travel, no movement and.. oh yeah, some luck too. Thanks for watching, check out my other vids with the new deer vision.

Deer dont see color worth a shit. Truthfully. You dont need to wear camo. Just make sure what you are wearing is quiet, warm and has been washed with a scent reduction soap.

[@sixgunsymphony7408]

Deer dont see red, nor green. Red plaid breaks up the human outline.

[@Verticalbowoutdoors]

You are very wrong in the number one killer. You know how many people actually wear flannel and blue jeans to the woods to actually hunt? It’s not very often. I’ve been all over the us and hunted public land and only once in the last 15 years or so have I ever seen someone actually wear flannel to the stand. Plain clothes or just a regular multi cam is worn more than any.

[@CamoMatrix]

Thanks for the comment and I would agree this is true for the last several decades. This was filmed a few years ago, and I think I was implying that before camo was really a thing, big bucks were often killed just wearing whatever they were wearing in the woods (so blue jeans and flannel isn't the best example of what everyone would wear). I failed to mention I was including a short modern history of hunting. My uncle (in his 80's and still hunts) when discussing hunting camo, says that he just went in the woods with warm clothing and the same with his father and grandfather. I have many more patterns in my new videos. Thanks for watching

[@jjjjjjjjj323]

I wear Kuiu Vias simply because I like it. I don’t it’s actually helped me kill a single deer.

[@CamoMatrix]

That is a statement most hunters should make. I think the tipping factor comes down to what keep you comfortable and was designed to suit your style of hunting. I like to call it a hunting uniform. Its gets you in the mood.

[@jjjjjjjjj323]

You are correct. Some changes have been made to attempt to alter the lighting in the camo to match the background. This method will always be flawed and is meant to just be a staring point. The newer version of deer vision is also more accurate.
