I once scared a deer away with the sound of a fart.
I ripped a loud one and they looked up and the older one blew and ran off. Must have winded me. And yes i had scent lok on too

I farted real loud once and another hunter nearby blew his grunt call back at me. That's when you know your hunting in a high pressure area. :lol:

That's pretty funny! I didn't fart but I blew my bleat call opening day of rifle, and then I could hear the hunter on the neighboring property start grunting at me. :lol:

That’s different from what I’ve read.

** “In contrast, whitetail eyes only have two photopigment types, giving them dichromatic color vision. Scientists believe that deer can primarily see short-wavelength blue light, and moderate-wavelength light that they probably perceive as something between red and green.” **. Jun 16, 2017

Cohen found that deer saw colors in the blue spectrum best, and those in the red spectrum the worst. He also confirmed anatomical studies that have found deer can see greens, yellows and UV light, but that they don’t perceive the different color shades to the extent that humans do.

Because deer can’t distinguish color shades as well as we can, wearing camouflage clothing containing similar colors actually makes you appear like one big blob to deer.

“While deer color vision is important, they key in more on movement,” added Cohen. “If you are a solid silhouette, movement is easier to pick up on than if you wear clothing containing colors that break up your outline.”

(Google, “what deer can see”)

Ultimately, nobody has ever asked a deer what they see, or at least never got a verbal response in English. So it is all Scientific theory.

Our heads and eyes stand out much more than we think. Face masks & paint while annoying probably help tremendously.


Yea They laughed at me this year coz I wore a leafy head net duck hunting. I normally wear it turkey hunting, it has a little green on it :roll: . I also bought a wide brimmed boonie hat that worked good with the headnet.

I don't think camo matters much. Its just a matter of which one you personally like they all get the job done.

Hands Ears Eyes are what stands out the most.




My favorite camo is Advantage Timber which is no longer made.

Take it for what it is, but I put zero thought into camo pattern selection. After seeming to be invisible in a blaze orange jumpsuit I think movement is what will get you.

I had a stare down with a doe once. All it took was for me to blink for her to turn inside out.

I like to mix and match my camo. Sometimes your lower body needs to have a different effect from your upper body. I think I hit a good combo on this hunt...
