One thing I believe is that some fabrics or dies actually glow in the dark for deer. If you don't get all the UV briteners out of your hunting cloths, the pattern makes little difference if you're glowing. I've used the UV Blocker laundty soap and spray on every piece of hunting cloths I own, except the carbon suit. Hmmm . I know it makes a difference with hunter orange. I've seen it on deer drives and have left powder burns on many deer that didn't see me......
Thanks guys, I think I know what's wrong with my new camo! I haven't UV treated my new mask, hats, gloves, jacket, pants, backpack, shirts or anything. I had most of my stuff stolen last year, replaced most of it but I'm still glowing in the dark!
Makes perfect scence to me now! LMAO. Out of 20 trips to the woods, I've seen deer that didn't see me on 2 different days. Both days I was wearing my cabela's camo skinz shirt that was UV treated and both times with out a hat or mask. I've seen deer on 2 other days that saw me, same shirt but wearing my new mask and hat. I couldn't believe they saw me and know they didn't wind me. The other 16 days, I've seen no deer, just turkeys and fox's. 0-16 with my new stuff. I'm going to the store and going to change that today.
There still isn't many deer out there to see, but I'll feel better thinking they're going to have a harder time seeing me and smelling me after today.
