The camo phase of hunting. I remember hunting with some after they got back home from the war and they wore jungle fatigues they brought home. Then, all the non veteran started buying used ones from the Army Navy surplus stores to wear hunting. Orange vests and hats were not required at the time. I never felt the compunction to put my jungle fatigues back on for recreational purposes. Also, nothing looks more ludicrous to me than a man dressed in mossy oak wearing a flourescent orange vest and hat.
