I kind of think just about any camo would work for sikas, just because it's so d**n thick in sika country. I have noticed that there is a lot of green in sika territory so maybe not a hardwoods camo? The most important thing to wear is a bug suite or carry a thermacell!!!!!
I'm no expert though, anyone else?

Like BuckMaster said just about anything will work.camo is a personal prefrence.There is nothing I have seen that works everywhere you have frag,sage,marsh grass,three square,needle grass,water bushes,loblollly pines,oaks,holly.If anything the timber has alot of dark colors which is probably your best bet like mossyoak break-up if you hunt out of a climber its probably going to be out of a pine tree nine times out of ten dark bark an dark green pine needles.again its a personal choice most camo is designed to look good to us anyway

Just sit STILL and you'll be fine. I think camo bags more hunters' dollar than game. I got grief about a pic I posted with this spring's gobbler. Folks were saying my camo was older than they were! (Crumbley's Trebark, form the mid 80s: back then, things were easy.It was Trebark or WWII woodland) I did have a bowhunting fanatic friend take an old OD Army parka, and sew on patches and strips of burlap over 20 years ago.Sort of a poor man's ghillie suit.
I've killed plenty of stuff wearing bluejeans, OD,etc. Heck, I outfitted my wife and all the kids with British surplus disruptive camo: each for under $10, and that's pants and parka.
Don't even ask me about all the scent control products.....

I generally wear something with plenty of green for early season (Sep, Oct) but switch to browner patterns after that. My favorite is Advantage Max 4, the grass patterns that work well for duck blinds are exactly what the phrag and marsh hues are, it blends in great most places I hunt. Anything you have will probably work well, use cover and don't move much. But IF you need camo anyway and want to spend some money - - Max 4. Realistically, however, whatever pattern you can find a Bugtamer suit in is what you'll want to have!!!! Although I've been looking at some of those western camo pine patterns, they look like they'd be great in a pine tree or myrtle bush.

thanks i'm going with the mossy oak break up. i picked up another t'shirt and the primos bow vest from bass pro so i guess i'll stick with that.
then again i just was the new mossy oak duck blind for the first time yesterday so i might have to try some of that.

I might try my guille suit this year. Maybe spend an afternoon stalking or just sitting. It looks alot like the phrag on the shore.
