Just a question for you more experienced deer hunters out there, I have said in another post that this will be my first deer season. I really just wanted to know if I should invest in the hunting specific camo or if I should just use the old woodland BDU's my dad gave me

99Explorer got it right. I would not invest too much money when your just starting out. There will be plenty of time and other hunting toys to sink bigger chunks of your paycheck into as the hunting bug grabs you. Besides, you can get by without the name brand camo until you have enough experience to decide for yourself.
I guess I disagree with many others about the importance of camo. I know its possible to kill deer in a t-shirt and jeans if you want to, but if you want consistant close encounters (inside bow range), I suggest wearing camo.

Another red wool plaid and wool trouser guy here. I am less concerned with the deer seeing me and more concerned about trigger-happy hunters tossing lead at me, so I stick with red or plaid and it has served me decently.
On the other hand, I do wear camouflage for coyotes because I usually set up on private property (ranch) for coyotes.

007, I read Larry Benoit's book "How to Bag the Biggest Buck of your Life". I was wearing green and black wool clothing in Maine while hunting. I was copying the Benoit family style of hunting. I was way back deep in the wilderness hunting and didn't know there was another logging road at the back end. Another hunter stood up and I was shocked because I though I was far away from the masses. He told me I should wear orange for safety. The hunter also said he had his gun up thinking I was a buck coming through the bush. That was all I needed to hear. Now I where orange clothing all the time while gun hunting. The damn loggers log out so much in Maine you never know when a new logging road will pop up.
