Anglers wear camo so they blend in the background when the water is clear so there shadow doesn't spook the fish   The council workers will be wearing it for the people that go mooching on tips and

For fishing no problem, I wear a little especially when I'm trotting a line, however people who wear cammo at Game Fairs....well that makes me chuckkle each and everytime I see it.

sometimes a few young lads come out to ferret on some fields of mine.

i do have to laugh because its looks like a seine out of a war movie with all the camo they have on.

wouldnt mind but they are working in the middle of the fields with no trees or hedges to blend into.

i lift what ever doesnt smell the worst of fish/rabbit guts, whether its cammo/green/brown i couldnt care less as long as it keeps me warm and dry and thats just to walk the dog to the shops

 

although i did buy the cammo muckboots cause they look cool :icon_redface:

 

as for gamfair attire i wear clothes to suit the weather, the first one i went to this year it had been raining all night and i had a dose of manflu so had all my fishing kit on to keep me dry and warm the last i went to i was in jeans and smart t-shirt as it was good sunny day and we where headin out for t after

99% of camo is a load of crap and is worn by knuckle dragging inbreds who think it makes them look tough. Animals don't see in the same spectrum of light as us and react more to movement than colours. For example red deer can not detect fluorescent pink or orange but if you wear a full on ghillie suit that you've washed with biological washing powder then you are going to glow bright blue to the deer. I have been pigeon shooting in a high viz jacket to prove the point and the birds didn't jink.

 

Like i said it is a load of balls unless you want to play at being soldiers. Another top tip - if you are on the wrong side of the hedge wearing that crap then the assumption is that you think you're rambo and up to no good.
