I think there are a lot of variables such as what species are you hunting and where at? Ducks out of a blind would be different for me than hunting deer with a high powered rifle in shrub/steppe.

Why would camo clothing make a difference, or make you more comfortable than non-camo?Bowhunter here.... Camo clothing makes a difference. Really. It should also keep you more comfortable outside, so there is that to consider, too.
Oh yes. I completely agree with everything you wrote. There is just no denying that the Tioga Unit in particular is just a little slice of heaven. I often hunt that unit in a bright yellow tank top with shorts and tennis shoes. Although, you definitely need to plan on spending at least a day and a half there if you want to be sure to fill your elk tag.Yes, don't need anything special going for elk in Coast Range with your bow. There are even some decent public land places for your tree stand where you can where whatever you want.
And of course, the there is seldom any water or weather at the coast. So your clothing, jeans or flannel, don't need need to be water resistant or waterproof. It never really rains there. Plus heavy mist, rain and fog, are rare, except for most days during fall and early winter season. You don't need quiet or durable clothing either. There is a delightful variety of thorned foliage (salmon berry, blackberry, devils club, just to name few), coupled with heavy brush and water-laden conifer branches that don't catch on your clothing or even get it wet. Finally, the easy terrain and moderate weather, especially during late fall and early winter (blacktail 2nd season) make means you can pretty much wear anything. Getting within 40 yards of the always plentiful elk herds on the west side in my bright red flannel shirt is a breeze.
But I do love my Filson canvas pants. So camo not always, but definitely most of the time I'm bow hunting the Coast Range.
