All while wearing camo 
Agree. Maybe not the best pic of Fred for that quote.All while wearing camo
Make no mistake though, the man was a stone cold killer. Wish I knew a quarter of what he forgot.

IMO any breakup pattern that blends into the environment works for most game, even the ones that see color. And as ole Bear said, noise and movement are your enemy, as it catches the eyes and ears, no matter the color or pattern.
Miss the Woolrich red plaid. Quiet, warm, comfortable, long gone...
Wrapping yourself in a deer skin and crawling on all 4. Never had the balls to try it but I'd bet it works.

No it's not. There are many companies that offer wool hunting shirts. You can also find them easily on ebay.
I only wear wool clothes for hunting. It can't be beat.

If you want a big buck you've got to be willing to make sacrifices. Risking carpal tunnel & knee surgery, or possibly being shot behind your shoulder is but a small price to pay for that giant rack on the wall.

Most effective I've ever seen in the timber is ASAT....I've wore my set out many years ago...And in the store it's not the most appealing to the human eye....but outdoors I've never seen another camo pattern break up a human silhouette like ASAT...and that's for turkey season to fall deer hunting....the color pallet with layers of of tan, brown and black along with the pattern curves....it just matches the natural environment...all season, all terrain...good stuff.
You simply cant kill deer unless you are wearing $1200 worth of camo. Everyone knows this…The best is the most Expansive right??? the more money the better right?? isn't that the point
Anyone ever use it for waterfowl? Or is it too bright?

I wish I could find the article but several years I read an article where a guy did a study on camo patterns and how they would look to deer. Where most camo patterns looked good to us looked like a dark blob to deer. He then went on to show how a Hawaiian shirt would provide better concealment than a camo shirt. His study is what lead me to first lite fusion camo pattern. I felt like it did a good job on concealing and at further distance and not becoming a dark blob. At the time first lite only had two patterns and were a new company. They have come out with other patterns since then but I still like the fusion the best.

Two years running
Not a stitch of camo on when I shot my bucks. It was hanging in the shop while the scent killer stuff was drying.
Best camo? The wind and distance (in my case)

Camo is made for consumers and not wildlife. Although some colors will blend in better in certain surroundings. Sitting still is the best defense to not being seen.

Yes....blends in perfectly with the brown and tans in oak brush or even the lighter cane that many brush blinds with....but again...most people look at it on-line or in the store and don't like the way it looks with it's large pattern....but the smaller patterns that look good to the human eye just look like a blob of one color at any distance...where the larger patterns, like ASAT, actual break up your silhouette...and the tan background never crosses over the brown then the brown never crosses over the black...which creates a 3D effect giving it depth....all my camo was ASAT at one time....but over the years its a worn out...you can still find it but it's not as common...changed ownership couple times I think?
But I totally agree with the original quote....being still and having the right wind is better than any camo pattern.
But the original question was:
"what's the best camo pattern?"
