Ya know...There have been times that deer would be walking through the woods.
Everything is going well. I have a boat load of cover, scent blocker is on, wind is good, not sweaty, showered in scent soap, sitting perfectly still, 25' up
and then...snap....eyes on me like I was wearing a clown suit covered in perfume.
I couldnt figure out how the HECK these deer spotted me..I bet you it was the uv thingy !!
Doubt it!!! It's probably some movement, or you looking at them or that scent blocker ain't working as well as you think. (Try X-scent base-layers, best thing I've ever used!!!!) I knowingly wash all my clothes in a Scent-Free detergent (All: Free & Clear) UV brightener, I've been within CLOSE shot distance of MANY deer while ON THE GROUND without a blind, in the last several years, and not spooked but a rare couple of them. TRUST ME, the UV thing may hold some small amount of water, but it it held that much water, the two encouters I've had that I've had deer within 5yds. of me on the ground wouldn't have happened. And I've had probably 20 within 10yds. of me on the ground, in the last 4 yrs, that seemed to have no idea what I was.
