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.

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?
A glowing blue light with the sky as a back ground. I didn't know I blended in that well!
What do they see when they look at the uv filled sky?
I heard most camo isn't made with uv dyes.
Most paint only goesdown to a "flat" sheen. Camo paint goes to "ultra flat". If there's a reason for that then good camo would be very dull.
