5 Best Camo Patterns for 2019

The latest Realtree camo pattern on the market is Realtree Timber. Primarily designed for duck hunting, it's proven to be an extremely effective deer hunting pattern, too. Just look how well it blends with the timber setting and the guy doesn't even have back cover. This pattern is impressive. It's great for river-bottom hunting, flooded timber late-season hunting and anywhere else you have a heavy timber presence.

It's even good for blending in at the base of an old oak tree, or high up in one. Especially when the greenery fades and the leaves have fallen off. Definitely keeps you concealed.

Most Fitting Terrains: Pine/coniferous, river bottom and hard woods/mixed forests

Bill Jordan has perfected the art of developing quality camo patterns. His attentiveness to detail and ability to design patterns that utterly dominate the outdoor market are unprecedented. And the effectiveness of the all-new Realtree EDGE pattern is simply stunning. It's going to be a great pattern for deer hunting.

As the EDGE slogan goes, "Hunting comes with a lot of challenges. Being confident you're concealed shouldn't be one of them." The intricate color, depth and detail in the design make it so effective.

Here you have your one-camo-fits-all pattern. Realtree Xtra works extremely well from the Southeast, to the Northeast, and all the way over past the Midwest. It even works in some locations way out West. Needless to say, it performs in a variety of habitats. It performs the best once the leaves change in fall all the way through deer season. It even works great come turkey time.

This pattern utilizes 12 different warm, natural colors to make it so productive. Things in the foreground are in perfect focus. Middle-ground objects are a little more blurred and the background setting is completely indistinguishable. Yet have each of these components are crucial to make Xtra what it is.

As our mainstream western pattern, MAX-1 XT is excellent for prairie, desert and mountainous terrain. It blends into those environments better than any pattern I’ve tried and truly keeps hunters hidden. It’s great for midwestern and western deer hunts. It’s even effective for other big and small game hunts in those regions, too.

Want a pattern that will work in western and (most) eastern settings, too? Again, MAX-1 XT is the pattern you need to accomplish that. Its open-pattern design makes it very versatile.

Most Fitting Terrains: Croplands, wetlands and river bottom
