Wondering if people wear camo when they are out scouting or hanging trail cams?

No sir. I am usually in something dark colored though. Black, brown, green!

Ya but you wear blue jeans and a white shirt when you hunt though. :lol:

I\'m not scouting in elk country but around here with all the deer ticks I wear light colored jeans and shirt.
 
I don\'t always wear camo when I hunt... So, no I don\'t make an extra effort to wear camo when scouting. My personal and professional opinion are that camo isn\'t the most important part of concealment.

I wear my merino in the woods. Comfortable and keeps me cool. I also like to be able to \"hide\" when people are around. If you have camo on and don\'t move they look right past you.

I started wearing gaiters last year and wear them all the time now. Love them. Laces never get untied, socks and shoes stay clean and if I get into a swampy area I\'m good!
 
My only scouting is for WTs around here so yes. If season is in I am packing my bow and you never know. I also do not like other hunters to see me as I\'m almost always hunting public land.
 
Since I got old and senile I wear camo all the time so I don\'t have to try to match up colors anymore.... :lol: :lol:
 
I might, but it just depends. If I am wearing pants, then I\'m probably wearing some camo hunting pants for sure. Tee shirt, you never know. Sometimes camo, sometimes another brown/tan/green, etc.

What else do you wear???? Shorts or a skirt or nickers????? I hope you don\'t run around in your underwear unless at home in the house... :D :D

Before you go ballistic on me.... I\'M JUST KIDDING.... :lol: :lol:

In the past 12 months I\'ve killed my elk, barbary sheep, and 3 turkeys in shorts!
It\'s the way to go!
 
Me and shorts don\'t go very well together.... :D :D You gota see my \"bird legs\" to know why... :lol: :lol:

Yeah, I\'ll parade around in shorts in the summer. I\'d rather beat my legs up a bit than be covered in sweat.
 
i dont.

usually too many hikers in the area and i want to look just like one of them. no sense giving away my secret spots.
 
Nope, not usually. It\'s good practice to see how well I can \"hide\" from people (or animals) by spotting or hearing them first, finding cover, and remaining totally still instead of relying on camo to blend in.
 
The only time I would wear camo scouting is if I have been hunting and went scouting after the hunt.
 
Mostly, no. However...Before September, I try out all new gear & clothing at least once. In addition, I sample all new food.

No, but I only scout for whitetails as well. I usually wear a certain pair of blue jeans that have been thoroughly sprayed with Sawyer Permethrin for ticks. Funny about the legs, I was teased at an outpost bear hunt several years ago about my snow white legs, cause I never, ever wear shorts.
