Hi Bramble,

You may think I'm making this up, but I know a fellow who placed his camouflage inline muzzleloading rifle on the ground when he walked off to pee, and lost it. He found it the next year by chance, but it was ruined by then (of course). This same fellow leaned a T/C Hawken against the tailgate of his truck, forgot, and backed over it (ruined that one too, of course). So, camouflage isn't the only culprit here, but it played a partial role.

I happen to agree with several fellows who have already posted the opinion that camouflage-pattern clothing does not conceal us from game animals. I believe they see the silhouette or outline, without regard to the interior coloration. My experience is that by breaking up the silhouette, we can conceal our identity. I’ve had deer walk right up to me while I was sitting and wearing a ghillie jacket, with branches covering my legs.

Take care, Tom
