Default RE: UV Killer?

I totally agree. I think the #1 buster is MOVEMENT over anything else. Deer have survived b/c they are able to detect the slightest movement among the landscape so they can flee a predator. They have also survived b/c of their Nose, however although I do take the precautions of making sure I'm scent free (no scent-blocker/carbon crap though), I dont think your scent is going to bust you unless you have a very strong or offensive body odor.

Now interestingly there was a study a little while ago, that showed how scientists believe that humans have the greatest ability of all animals to detect other animals as a survival mechanism. They did a study where I beleive they showed a picture of woods with no animals/some animals and then showed a picture with animals added, but hidden and people were able to quickly identify and spot the animals. Scientists believe that this ability evolved and was a vital part in our survival also in spotting prey either to keep us safe or for hunting.

So I think Movement and Scent are the #1 and #2 reasons hunters get busted. By all means if you want to use the UV stuff, go ahead it has no effect on me and helps the economy
