Default Scientific Arcticle on Camo and Deer Vision

This is a great scientific article on what camo we should be using while deer hunting. Looks like I should be stealing my roommates digital fatigues.

Very interesting article. I would like to seemore picsof these micro-over-macro patterns. There was a link in the article but it just took you toa single pic. I'd like to see it closer up and farther away in a variety of environments. Good information though.

Yep, big blotches over laid with dark stripes. Sounds a lot like Predator to me too.

The first and most obvious trick is to fade into the background, as a leopard’s spots enable it to do while it’s patiently waiting to ambush a prey. The spots aren’t shaped like leaves or branches, but they form an overall “micropattern” matching the colors and overall texture of the woodland background.

What a Great Idea!
