Because humans can see in 3d and the full color spectrum.

Deer dont.
Agreed.

Let me tell you guys, this stuff works!!! I'm not sure how much better it works than any other camo, but I had some very interesting results this year wearing my suit. I do however think that ASAT can me out of its element, ie hunting against very green or dark backgrounds tends to make it stand out, but from a tree stand once the leaves have turned, it can't be beat.

Let me relate a few of my experiences from this season:

Opening day, hunting a persimmon tree. I'm about 15ft off the ground in a big oak with no cover in front or behind, just the tree. I have a 3 1/2 8pt feeding on persimmons at less than 15 yds for over 20 minutes!!! He stares me down several times, but never spooks as he looked right through me.

A few weeks later, hunting persimmons again, the only tree around is a small hackberry that I can only climb out 8 ft. I really wanted to hunt this persimmon tree, so I went with it. I had a spike and a doe pass by me at about 4 steps from my tree. Remember, I am only 8ft off the ground. These deer stare me down hard, and they look right through me and few minutes later I killed the doe.

Late season, I'm climbing down around 10am. I grab my gear and hit a little clearing, I stop to grab my water from my pack when I hear a deer coming. Out steps a nice little 8pt, not 12 yds away. He stares at me just standing in the wide open, looks through me and goes about his business.

This stuff works folks!!! It is not a cure all, but it definitely works.
