So, if I am not moving in the middle of Autumn but I am covered from head to toe in all white, or any solid color vs someone dressed in a plaid or camo or any clothing that breaks up their pattern, are you saying the deer (who knows every piece in his woods, down to the smallest detail) will not realize either of us is in his area, if he cannot hear us or smell us? Wow, that's a looooong sentence I just wrote but I hope you understand my question.
I have the utmost respect for the deer's senses, especially his sense of smell, but they also rely of other sense for survival. His eyesight is very close to humans (MHO) but they live there and will certainly realize when something is out of order, especially if it poses a threat. To me, wearing clothing that breaks up my pattern will only male it more difficult for the deer to realize what he is seeing. Bottom line, blending in to my environment will always make me a more successful hunter vs wearing a solid color, especially if no movement is involved.
If I am wrong here, please enlighten me.
