black is not a bad color to wear you should be fine if you are hunting timber or somwhere that you are heavily shadowed, I wouldnt sit out in the middle of flooded corn with it though.

 

No. As long as you're not wearing obnoxiously bright colors, skin covered, and if you remain still you'll be just fine.

 

Depends on where you're hunting. Black can offer more telltale contrast than white in many situations.

 

I think you'll need to get another brand of waders. The ones you mention don't go well with black.

Need to make sure I put in a :biggrin: so you'll know I'm jes bullcrappin' ya.

 

Get a camo vest. Those Apex jackets are nice, I wear mine to work.

 

Agreed on location - I only wear any black when in a layout blind field hunting. Can't think of much black in any camo patterns. Can't think of much black in any landscape.

 

As long as you have relatively good cover and REMAIN STILL there is nothing wrong with wearing some black. More ducks have been shot in this country with people wearing old OD, black or even muted plaid clothing than with the latest & greatest camo patterns. Plus, look closely at most any camo pattern and you'll see the base color is black...it creates depth and shadows.

People get way too caught up in the marketing frenzy of whatever new camo pattern comes out each year. The truth is that being where the ducks want to be, covering or masking your bright white face and staying totally still will allow you to kill more ducks than any camo will ever allow.

 

I agree with Apexhunter............ anything with a bit of contrast is good camo as long as you stay still. Nothing Black in nature ????? anything with a shadow on it can take a black/dark appearance ad modest ranges. Go up in a small aircraft once and get a birds eye view of the ground. There are irregularities in even the most uniform terrain so even if you don't blend 100% you not out of the ordinary.

The question was about a solid black top. In most cases, at least the environments I hunt in - solid black would stand out as a blob. I could hide behind a tree in orange and that wouldn't matter much. :lol3:

Black highlights within a woodland pattern might work. But c'mon guys...black ain't the lucky color from what I have seen in camo or blending to enviornments. Gray would work.

 

The only time I would wear black is inside a ground blind bowhunting white tail, and I dont hunt in a ground blind. Black is a bad choice and it really is even a bad color for guns used to hunt with.
