Re: It's TRUE! [/align][hr]

Dave Smith you have a good point. It was opening weekend for archery and the deer have not had pressure, since last hunting season. I never had any problems other years. My treestand is around 15ft in the tree. I may try the UV killer sportswash. I just hope it works like they claim. I have heard some people say that it works by only dimming the UV reflecting dye and not eliminating it. I will give it a try sometime. The suit may have to sit off to the side until hunting season is over for that. I don't trust it after that exprience. None of my other hunting clothes would glow purple under the blb light; so I think I will stick to them. Here are some papers to read that may convience some people. I would have to try that sportswash, test it with a blb light, and then test it out in the woods to be sure if that product works at all. I think I would rather check my clothes for UV reflecting dye right away; before having to deal with sprays or spooked deer. I also wash out the washing machine before putting my hunting clothes in and only use baking soda and scent free detergent that has no UV brightners in it.


Here are some websites on deer vision. There are two websites on horse vision that are the same, but can give a person an idea on deer vision. I'm not saying that deer and horse vision is the same. Hope this helps a little more for the people who are interested in this thread. I will have to try some of my own experiments with this new suit and my old camo. I think the UV thing may be the next big thing every hunter talks about. I will let everyone know in the future what I find out.
