Interesting indeed, AE.
Now here's a question that would begin all kinds of discussion around the subject, I bet: So if they ever did come out with this material capable of altering the optical wavelengths, how would we prove that it works on deer? You know, what with their different rods and cones and all, combined with their supposed ability to see ultraviolet images.
Interesting indeed, AE.

Geez guys, hold on. My head is starting to hurt.
I think it will be a long time before something like that ever becomes affordable enough for the average hunter...
..and I doubt the ol' PA Game Commission would make it legal for hunting. We cannot even hunt Sundays.

No problem proving this one, light is light. Ultraviolet rays are just a higher wavelength of the light we can see. Rods and Cones are the same as well. Theydon't have Cones(or if they do not very many) becuase they allow you to see color. They do have Rods and a lot more then we do which allow them to seein low light conditions and at night.

RE: Speaking of Camouflage......
It's interesting that this topic should be here, I haven't visited the forum for quite some time. About 3 years ago me and a friend tried to pursue getting a patent on something very similar to this concept, But after doing some research we soon realized that the technology just wasn't there yet for the type of fabric we needed. After doing some research we also realized that when and if the technology was available there was no way we could beat the big companies to it and I ain't talking about camo companies, or the government for that matter, although, if this "fabric" I'm referring to ever does come available, it would still be an opportunity for someone to put together what I'm referring toin a manufacturing setting and not worrying about having the patent or being the "inventor", just purchase the fabric from whoever finally will be able to make it. I'm not talking about invisibility, but something darn close to it.
