Deer have mostly rods in their eyes and no, they can't see color very well but they see (50) shades of grey (from what I have read). I think a big blob of grey sticks out more than camo would but it's motion that usually reveals the hunter.

If you turkey hunt... YES! Camo makes a difference I think. So... why have two different sets of clothing for deer and turkey?

I spend WAY too much time and money on trying to kill a mature buck to not wear camo and I closed out the year with a bow in my hand. I don't kill many bucks with my bow and the one on your left; he and I were in a stare-down for several seconds at 14 yards while he's facing me! I had on face paint and I squinted my eyes and at the moment of truth, yes, I'll gladly invest a few extra $ for camo.

I rarely hunt from a shooting house AND, I like seeing turkeys up close and personal when I hunt. If I'm on a swamp, I like seeing ducks and have them swim within yards of my tree.

Does camo matter? For most deer hunters, no. For me in a tree with a bow taking in all of nature and not wanting to be seen, YES.

I know next time that I'm in a stare-down with a mature buck and he's close enough to spit on, I'm not taking any chances. Joel Stone should have him ready in a week or two and I don't think I'd had the chance to put an arrow through him if I'd been wearing mono-colored clothing.

Most camo, not so much.

ASAT camo, a bunch.

I've always worn coveralls and most of the warm, comfortable ones are in camo.

Bucktrout: there's a lot to be said on shades ,we cann't match natures colors&shades if we cut it,oops,you move it ,oops,In the old days some of the best trackers & snipers were said to be color blind.I need a 4 wheeler to get around,ive taken deer from it when in a good hide. sound smell sight movement wind.I like to do my set ups and traking feb,mar. set up hides,then pull out, then hope for rain to hide my signs & smell, then come in to hunt,and don't go near there naturl runs,keep them happy,but be where i can see, if they think something wrong ive had them inspect the area at night to find me. they don'tleave the area they may just go around you .This a great topic for all to share notes:i could learn a lot Thanks

I am not smart enough to know if camo matters with deer. But I know I like camo and usually some on everyday. May just be a hat but thats my style:)
