Default RE: 3 seasons in the field.....Camo observance

Rybo/Jim:

Everything I read about whitetails tells me they see VERY well in that time of low light....just before dark and just before light. I don't think their night (dark) vision is capable of discerning what we are. I may be wrong. Everything I've read, though.....tells me they go through a transition time .....when their eyes are adjustingfrom the low light to the darkness (using different cones in their eyes or somehing like that). If you're going out in the first part of darkness.....wouldn't you be LESS likely to be noticed (and identified as a human) than you would if you went out when their eyes were at their peak performance (low light)?

Interesting discussion.
