Everything about hunting is just down homey cosplay.
Now for the ones who hunt Turkeys. There is a value in the head to toe camo as Turkeys have unreal eyesight and can see UV light.

I just shoot deer off my back porch in jeans and a T-shirt, personally.
What do you drink during this activity?
I really only ever drink coffee or water. I don't drink alcohol except for very rare social events. I'm probably a bit of a spoiler for your statistics.
Yeah, it's less fun if you don't fit the stereotype
Sorry, I guess.
I think I'm less upset by all this than the deer.
The deer aren't upset about a thing.
Elephants like shifting logs.
Dissection is fun for frogs.
Pissweisser most likely.
Ew, no.
my BIL does this with gophers/moles and drinks corona w/ lime at his vacation property.
He works in insurance.
That's the dream. Non-hunters (and some hunters) have this idea that hunting should be difficult. I think it just needs to be humane and sustainable. When you try to add difficulty, you often make it less humane and/or sustainable.
Don't get me wrong, a tricky bow hunt in a far flung wilderness sounds fun, but if I had to chose between that and reliably filling my freezer from my back porch, I would pick that.
The lengths some folks go to hunt, just nah, but not everyone lives in the woods like I do. I don't claim to be a hunter of any sort. I just occasionally harvest supper from the forest, just like the chanterelles that grow in the leaf litter, they show themselves to me when I can use them. I get a small break on my property taxes for keeping the majority of it a natural habitat and the woods bless me from time to time.
This is a blog post talking about their camouflage product but it still goes over why it is effective for ungulates and they specifically reference deer
