Camouflage
CONCEALMENT. HIDING. UNDETECTED.This is what camouflage is all about. Mother Nature is a master.Many living things wear disguise patterns that help them to survive as predator and/or prey. A bobcat needs to match the brush to get close enough to spring on a rabbit. A female mallard needs to do likewise to hide herself and her eggs from a hungry raccoon. And hey, have you ever tried to find a bobwhite quail you shot without the help of a dog? Even when you know where it fell, its feather pattern can conceal the bird. |

When Not to Hide
Monday, September 03, 2012 Written by Hunter's Handbook Staff
As great as today’s advancements in camouflage are, remember: there is still a need for your whereabouts to be known when sharing the field with fellow hunters. For safety’s sake, if another hunter approaches your hunting area, call out and let them know where you are. If you are moving about in low light, use your flashlight. Yes, it helps you see, but it also helps others see and recognize you as a hunter.
Many states require fluorescent orange when hunting various types of game. Often this calls for a cap and vest. Required or not, wearing or using something (like a flashlight) that makes you more visible to others is common sense safety, much in the same manner as life jackets in a boat or seatbelts in a car.
How to Disappear in the Field

There’s no doubt that mankind’s first hunters learned quickly the importance being able to blend in. Early hunters did so by using the lay of the land, rocks, trees, bushes, etc. They also eventually used the skins of other animals to create an illusion of “all is well.”

Realtree APG is the perfect cover for spring turkey, as the leaves begin to form and the grasses and cover spring up and broaden. It is also a great early fall squirrel hunting pattern.
