So… are you saying I don’t need to get the camouflaged Busch cans?
Why not just have a full body suit that is orange, red, and yella, arranged to be all camo-like?
Is there actual proof of this? How does anyone except deer know what deer see?
Ooooh! Perfect for autumn!
Because many animals can be trained to indicate when two colors appear different to them. If they make no response, then they appear the same.
The big question is: why do people buy camoflage-patterned wallets? That’s the last thing I want to blend into the background.
I remember being in a Wyoming store and seeing thongs and teddies in camouflage.
We know that they have two kinds of color receptors, and we know the range of wavelengths each is sensitive to. This enables us to tell what kind of colors they are capable of seeing. As has been mentioned, experiments on color discrimination in animals have also been done.
Humans, unlike most mammals, have three kinds of color receptors, which gives us pretty good color vision. Turkeys, like most vertebrates other than mammals, have four color receptors, giving them much better color discrimination than us.
So Dick Cheney doesn’t see them

You know, we airmen have been asking the same damn question for years. 
(by way of explanation, read the top comic on this page:cool:)
It also depends what you’re hunting, too. You don’t need camouflage to hunt bunnies or foxes, for example. So yeah, I agree with Crafter Man.
Besides, “burning bright” orange with pure white highlights isn’t exactly good tyger camo in a mangrove or forest, is it ?
ETA : I mean, seriously. This is me. I’m a tiger. I blend right in.
I see a lot of camo in Walmart. These people must be invisible to themselves when looking in the mirror, because they would be better off in the forest with some of their outfits.
To sum up what has been said:
1-Best thing going is camo pattern, but brightly colored. Safety and stealthy.
2-Next best thing is drab camo pattern with orange/bright vest. Safety (less so) and stealthy (less so)
3-Trailing behind is no camo at all with orange/bright vest. Safe as 2, but not as stealthy.
Anecdotal evidence will show 1,2 and 3 as successful. Many deer have been killed under many different circumstances, and there are just too many variables that we cannot control for sans a major study.
If it were me, I would go w/ option 1.
Probably what some expert got past some review board; all I can say is that that’s what is in my instructors manual. The old versions usually said “black and white” and somewhere along the course of my life the thought was “sepia browns” but now the rule of thumb is “grays”. Whatever the case, one thing science and experience both seem to show is that deer are not as sensitive to color as something like a turkey is.

Among other things, it says deer can’t distinguish shades of red such as orange and pink. Also, their distance vision isn’t better than that of humans.
Well, camo is useful, no matter what you’re stalking!
Camouflage condoms. She’ll never see you coming!
