What is the general consensus on camo patterns; What are the favorite paterns in your experience? I for the most part hunt in open/grassy/sagebrush areas and am going to try Natural Gear this year but am curious as to what others are using.
 
I use nat gear here in Az works great, there is a new pattern out called desertsage that looks good if you are going to be hunting in the sage brush
 
NatGear will work great for you. Actually any camo that breaks up your outline will work. The ASAT/Sticks&Limbs/Predator types work just fine anywhere also. With all that said, I generally use Brush Country here in Texas and Mossy Oak Break Up here and all over the country....because I feel better in it. If you are not too fashion concious, you can break up your outline ever more by wearing two different camo's top and bottom.

Good Hunting,

I bought a shirt from Cabela's in their new Seclusion 3D Open Country that looks like it would work great in open grass and sage areas. I'm going to put it to work in a couple weeks on an antelope hunt to see how it does.
 
my absolute favorite is Predator Camo. They have several different patterns. I use different patterns depending on where I intend on hunting.
 
I'm not convinced that camo is a necessity, but it can help break up your outline, as long as you are remaining fairly still. I'll take any advantage I can get, besides part of me thinks it's pretty damned cool... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

But to your original question, I use the following, often in cordination with each other and depending upon the landscape I happen to be hunting in: Prarie Ghost, Advantage, and Mossy Oak Break-up. I plan on getting some of the new Cabela's Open Country here fairly soon.
 
Although I love Prairie Ghost for open country, I just came across another pattern that looks really good. It's called Sage Country. Give them a look at /www.sagecountrycamo.com
 
I have looked at most of the available camo patterns including Advantage, Seclusion, Desert sage and several others over the past few months, and finally decided on the Nat Gear natural pattern for general purpose mostly because of its "open" pattern and coloration; it seems to blend in well with the surroundings and breaks up the human outline at least as well as other patterns. I'm sure it will work fine - time will tell.
 
Hey Tony I'm with you on both of those but lean more toward the ghost stuff.

I like upland wetlands for some of the straw fields around here.

Most of my predator hunting is done during winter so I go with the "Urban" camo.

I've been experimenting with the new USMC MARPAT camo. Otherwise I usally use ERDL camo when the vegatation is still green.
 
I have found, as long as you wear something that blends with the terrain you will be hunting in, you should be good to go. Even solid greens, browns or tans do just fine. I had a coyote walk past me with 25 feet and I was wearing a green flight jacket and green wool army pants, we were both right out in the open too. I was deer hunting at the time and was watching a few deer about 75 yards out when he meandered by.
 
I hunt mostly in sage brush country and have found Conks Fadded sage works well. They have regular cotton and also buck suede. The buck suede is watter and wind proof.

In Northern AZ, from the pines down to the cedars, I use Advantage Timber. Blends excellent with that terrain, dry or wet. Easy to find matching masks, gloves, warmer clothes, lighter clothes, etc in that pattern as well.

Speaking of camo, can anyone recommend a snow camo? Looking for a hooded field jacket type coat (3/4 length, no elastic waist), and a pair of insulated overpants to match. Not interested in the "scent block" or any of that nonsense, just decent quality stuff that will last a few years.
