I'm going on my first deer hunt this fall in CO at ~10k ft, (fingers crossed as last year with my points I'd have 100% draw odds) and had a question that seems silly but going to ask it anyways.
We all know the barrier to entry financially can be tough in hunting and the combination of that and having a very slow year at work due to COVID can be tough. Living in a state where it is 100 deg plus during our deer season I'd say my clothing isn't ready for CO. I'd like to buy a new pair of pants and jacket from KUIU, specifically the hybrid series, but it would run me over $600. I've found a great jacket and pant on amazon that has great reviews for hunting, oddly enough in CO, and would run me less than $125, catch is they don't have camo, only brown/khaki. I'd like to save as much money as I can for the tag fee so the question is...could I get away without the camo?
On a side note, I'm a younger guy (less than 30), and take pride in getting things done without the shiny bells and whistles and like grinding things out. I know guys back in the day used to get critters in red flannels so my thoughts in lack of camo stem from the idea that those guys got it done with way less than we have today.
Thanks!
