I'm avery skeptic of this UV-KILLER product and think this article was written by someone with an interest with themor the saleof it. I wonder if HuntingNet sponsors it on the site or if they pay to advertising on here? I never had trouble filling my archery tag while living in MD; I tried the UV KILLER stuff when it first came out because it was the latest and greatest thing. The very first hunt after applying the stuff I had four deer coming towards my stand. The deer leading the way on a trail right by my stand stopped about 25 yards from me and looked straight up at me in the stand! Without any hesitating, shesnorted and was gone!
This stand location was perfect and in the four years of hunting it, Ihad never beenbusteduntil that evening after using the UV KILLER product. Hunted the same stand the following night but with another set of camos and the same four deer came down the trail.Again, right around the same spotthe lead deer stopped and looked uptowards mystand. Looked right at me and after a long stare down contest, she continued and walked right under me and out to the clover field.A second group of deer that came through 10 or 15 minutes later and headed out to the field the same way. Except that group ended up with one less buddy that evening
I had tried to contacted them about their product several times to see what might was or went wrong or but never heard back from them nor have I ever used the stuff since.
Now I'm no scientist or do I study how animals see things. I do know that I've had turkeys and deerwalk less then 10ft from me and never once look scared or nervous about a glowing blue blob. I've alsobeen a lot of turkey seminar over the years with a lot of well knowspeakers and the topic of what a turkey can see is often brought up. I recall one of themresponding to question like this, "No one will ever know what a turkey can or can't see and until they find a turkey that can speak English!" Because of my pass experience with the so called UV theory and the stuff to eliminate it, I'll stick withthe statement above and wait for a talking turkey or deer
This is only my opinion based on my experiences with it when I tried it. I"™m also basing my opinion on the fact that I haven"™t used the stuff since then and have killed a lot of deer and turkeys at close range. I'm not trying to start any urgements with my post. I'm just saying, before you jump into buying the stuff and ruin your camos like I did years ago, you might want to look into it more or even run a few test of your own. Who knows? Maybe they spent the last 10 or 11 years refining the stuff and it now works like they intended it to or better yet, maybe they found a talking turkey. Good luck and Hunt Safe
