Most areas here a MARPAT Green or Desert would do well, but the grey rocky areas with lighter folaige I think a ACU ( I find it a greyish green with a hint if straw mixed in) color or a Digital Urban would be better, but we have to wear orange hats and vests here for big game, so I am not sure how effective camo is when your covering half of it.

I am sure camo assists in getting game, but shot placement, knowing the terrain, prey tendencies, (SA) knowing what is going on around you, patience and your positioning 'probably' play a bigger role in getting a kill.

IMO, Camo is pretty important when you're trying to stick critters with arrows, but probably not the most.
