Default being a glow dope in a tree all camo'ed out

I know that I havent really paid much attention to this but it seems that deer and their yellow-grey sight see us as a glowing blue light...and twice as much with blaze orange.

Im definately buying some UV-killer for my camo, stands, backpack, etc.

This is an interesting video clip that scared the crap out of me. http://link17.streamhoster.com/?u=atskoinc&p=%2FMEDIUM.wmv&odaid=6421. It seems that 99% of all cotton cloth witha camo print, no matter the manufacturer, glows bright blue to a deer. The blaze orange is up to twice the (blue) brightness because the manufacturer brightens up the material with UV dye to brighten the orange.

Does anyone have any pro's or con's to this new study of whitetail vision?
