Wearing blue jeans and a blue sweatshirt, I've had whitetails within three or four FEET while on the ground with them. But move so much as a twitch and game over.

As far as scent, You can fart, smoke, have lunch, chew tobacco or do anything you want and on the ground, so long as your downwind.

In a tree stand, you can get away with "murder", with anything blowing downwind some days and deer approaching anyway, but get away with zero the next. I figure it must be something about scent drift up or down, but I have yet to put my finger on it to be able to say, "on this type of day, downwind is done or on that type of day you'll see them down wind as well."

I've hunted with Buzz and discussed the blue color. He doesn't think eles or buff see it. I think eles see just as well as they want to on any given day. But Buzz's "blue" shirts do not stand out in preson like they do in photos or video.

I've faced two elephant charges. One ele was just coming and we couldn't be sure who he was coming after, maybe just all of us though I thought me, since I was centered in his path - who knows though. The other most definitely picked out the one fellow wearing a kacki shirt amounst the rest of us wearing green shirts.

No matter what sees X color, if possible, laws etc, considered, best to be "invisible" or blend in for even those animals you are not hunting which might give you away. Squirrels, birds, etc...

I generally don't wear cammo except waterfowl hunting, but do wear muted greens and browns.
