I hunt naked. Most of the time when they bust me it's because I have teabagged them.

you can wear any color you want. movement matters - don't do it. be still. don't fidget. any camo is better than none , i think real tree and mossy oak changed the way their fabric is process . hold it under a black light, what ever you have . take a wad of cotton right out of the field and hold it under a black light .

And to think the old timers killed plenty of deer wearing red plaid flannel and waxed canvas..... quit worrying so much about a fashion show or how you look at the gas station or in camp,and get downwind and be still. Camo does a lot better at separating hunters from their money than it ever has killing critters. There's a reason camo companies have such a large budget set aside for marketing.

Although I won't hunt without camo head to toe; this guy makes a ton of sense too...

Brown carhartt pants and a camo shirt or jacket is all I ever wear. I wore a black hoodie a few times sitting in my ground blind last year without anything camo on and still killed deer. When I climb I like to face into the tree. I don't care if you are wearing josh's unicorn costume there has never been a deer that can see thru a tree
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Stand in front of your deer camera at night in your $300 Camo jacket and tell me what you see. If it's washed out white on camera, like all my awesome Ole' Tom stuff, you ain't gonna be camo'd up at all opening day. Chances are you will be sticking out like a light bulb.
UV and IR are opposite ends of the spectrum, so game cams aren't a test. But, I can believe deer see deeper into the light spectrum than we do. It makes sense though because it's those colors that they can not see...reds, orange, and greens (on the IR end).

I caught on to UV years ago when I was sitting on the ground an hour before daylight with a bright full moon above. The Lee camo jeans I was wearing were lit up like a candle, while the camo sweatshirt I was wearing was black as the ace of spades. (correct me if I'm wrong, but the moon only reflects UV light?) Any way, I was busted enough times that I started checking my clothes with a black light. If I buy some camo and it glows under a black light when I get home, it goes back to the store. The only time it matters though is during low light conditions (dawn, dusk, and dreary overcast conditions) Hunter orange does not matter, IF the garment does not glow. The problem is most hunter orange is treated to make it glow so it can be seen better. Check out the hat I'm wearing in this photo.. it does not glow. I shot this doe while standing on the ground 15 feet from her. She never saw me.

Anyone have any pics of camo 'glowing' under a black light next to camo that doesn't 'glow' under a black light?
