Camo Shop Celebrates Hunting Season with Camo Bedding Tips

TULSA, Okla. -- With hunting season just around the corner, hunters can spruce up their homes with camouflage bedding and décor.

Tony Brobst, president of The Camo Shop, offers tips and advice for people interested in incorporating camo bedding and décor in their homes.

"Camo bedding and décor is just one way to bring your pastime home," Brobst said. "If your wife isn't thrilled about the idea of hanging a deer's head over your bed, then you can turn to camo décor to get the look."

Millions of people enjoying hunting every year, and that may explain why camo bedding and home furnishings are becoming more and more popular. Brobst suggests starting with the bedrooms.

"Your bedrooms are hidden from the rest of the house, so you can start a theme there and see if you like it before moving to the rest of the house," Brobst said. "With camo bedding, you can make your bed the focal point of the room, and move out from there."

There are other ways to add camouflage to bedrooms aside from camo bedding. For hardwood floors, a camo rug can maintain the theme, break up the floor, and keep feet warm on cool mornings. Other accessories, like antler lamps and lighting, can add to that hunting lodge feel. The exceptionally ambitious can even add a camo ceiling fan.

"You just kind of have to test it out and see what works well," Brobst said. "Too much stuff can be overwhelming, but too little and you won't even be able to tell that you have a theme going on."

One can even add a hunting flair to the bathroom.

"Camo hand towels make a great accent to your regular bath towels," Brobst said. "That, plus a camo shower curtain or a camo toilet seat cover, can really add spark to your bathroom."

According to Brobst, the only real limits are your budget and imagination.

"You can turn your whole house into a hunting haven, or just create a themed bedroom and bathroom with camo bedding and home décor products," Brobst said. "Really, it's all just about finding the right pieces to match your desires."

Trick Your Truck with Camo Accessories

Every year, hunters travel across the country, searching for that ever-elusive 12-point buck or that perfect duck blind. And if you're spending that much time in your truck, well, it almost becomes a second home.

If you're an avid hunter, you may have thought about getting a hunting license plate cover or a deer decal. That's great, but why not go all out and really personalize your truck with camo accessories? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Starting at the back

License plate covers and hitch covers are two of the most obvious places to start. You can find a number of camo license plate covers, including some from major brands like Browning or Smith & Wesson. A good idea for a hitch cover could be one that looks like a 12 gauge shotgun shell. If that's not your cup of tea, Smith & Wesson has one that simply says "Protected by Smith & Wesson."

However, you can add more to the back of your truck besides just camo license plate covers and hitch covers. Auto magnets are always a fun decoration, with the added benefits of being removable, so that you can put them just about anywhere on your truck that you'd like. And if you're leading a caravan as you and your friends head out to the wilderness for a week of hunting, a deer magnet on your truck's tailgate will show the rest of the gang exactly who they're supposed to follow.

Inside the cab

Bring the outdoors into your truck with camo accessories like seat covers, wheel covers and floor mats. Browning has some nice rubber floor mats that not only keep your theme, but will help protect your truck's carpet from the mud and grass and everything else that you'll be dragging with you when you climb in and out. Seat covers have the same benefit of looking good while protecting the actual upholstery, which makes them and floor mats almost a necessary part of your truck's camo accessories.

Rearview mirror hangers are also a good idea. It's something simple, it matches your taste, and it can be easily removed. Ducks Unlimited has one that's – what else – a duck's head, and Buck Head has a dangling buck's head.

Moving to the front

You can also add camo decals the rear window or to the windshield. They may not have the same practical side as floor mats and seat covers, but when it comes to decorating your truck, it's more about what you enjoy than it is what will pull double-duty. Besides, what better way to display your love of hunting than with a giant Ducks Unlimited decal across your windshield?

Make your truck stand out from the pack this hunting season by adding camo accessories. You'll get a chance to personalize your vehicle and still protect it from the beating that it will undergo from hauling you around the country.
