I am going hunting in the forest... lots of pine, wooded area. What is the best camo to use? I have been looking at the Mossy Oak - Break Up Infinity. Would that be a decent choice?

I don't think it really matters as long as you don't wear some light colored pattern that stands out. Deer see motion more than anything and no matter what the camo promoters would have you believe, as long as you break up your outline a little, you're all right. The old woodland pattern is as good as any. Now, turkey hunting is a different story-----they will read the logo on your cap from eighty yards away---in the fog.
You're gonna get a lot of mixed opinions about camo around here. Some will say you don't even need it. I like the mossy oak infinity and realtree aphd. I don't go to the woods without camo but movement and scent are still the two biggest things that will give you away and even the best camo won't conceal either.
I buy a matching camo pattern head to toe but thats comfort and uniform. i spend more my time picking and brushing in my stand sites. If your sky lined in your stand you will want to be a little lighter than some of the dark patterns sold. The key is really in shadows and outline break up, camo is just helpful. I use Realtree APhd and the only reason i know that is because i'm wearing a packer camo hat that matches my clothes.
i have thae mossy oak infinity works fine but so did my old realtreei had, and an old army suit i used to were, just something to break up your outline is all you need
I'll proably be the minority here, but nothing can touch Natural Gear, and I'm a convert from Advantage & Mossy Oak. Deer were spotting me in trees with the other brands - I guess because they can look dark or darker than the surrounding backgrounds. I switched to Natural Gear Original and no spooked deer, even out of the same tree as previous years.
If you have lots of pine around, you may wish to consider the Natural Gear SC II pattern. I believe Bass Pro Shops carries it, please take a look at it before making a purchase.

Dark Green Jump Suit at your local Army & Navy store
cost $15.00+/-...like a carhart type.
Wear whatever you have, it'll be fine long as you don't move.
I love the realtree aphd. I have been wearing it for about two years now. I really like it
realtree looks the most realistic, and you can find it with any clothing design/application.

Ghillie suit!
After hunting in New Jersey one year, I wear a slightly dull, but orange camo pattern coat.
