Really, more like "lack of observation". Earlier in the week I was hunting Osceola turkeys here in Fl with some friends. My go-to camo for this task for some years has been the crye multicam pattern, due to its efficiency I knew from my days on active duty, as well as the fact that I have plenty of it and it's free. Depending on the level of concealment of the natural vegetation where I set up, I may wear a net ghilly type suit over the top. While I don't claim to be an expert on anything, as a former sniper instructor, I consider myself reasonably familiar on the subject of camo and concealment. One of my fellow hunters was wearing the USMC issue woodland digital pattern, with no ghilly,- just a head covering. I had never dealt with the USMC pattern in the woods, since I was in the army and never used it. Well, we were just a few feet from each other in some shaded palmettos- and he disappeared. I mean, I really had to look for him from less than 10' away. So, before you invest large amounts of $ at bass pro or some other store for the latest most expensive camo- it may be worth it to look for some of this stuff at a surplus store. That is where I'm heading in a few!
