Should I believe this?
 

I'm a new hunter from Oklahoma. In my hunter education class, we received a magazine that showed a brand new hunting product called Covert Orange. My uncle said it wouldn't work but I want to get more opinions before I buy it. Has anyone on huntingnet.com ever seen this or used it? I went to their website and it looks like it might work.

Any advice is appreciated.

Huh. Well its not too expensive so if its bs your not out much. It looks cool. But who knows with hunting being as commercial as it is today you got a bunch of crap being made that supposedly does all kinds of things and noone really knows if it really works or is BS. Remember a lot of stuff is BS so thats what Ill leave you with. The rest is up to you. Maybe it will work.

Looks like more marketing uh... Feces. Can't be proved or proven not to work (who ya gonna ask a deer?). Save your $$$

i wouldnt buy it, shoot i could say that my original blaze orange is seen in a deer's eyes as mossy oak camo. dont buy

RE: Should I believe this?
 

Deer see regular blaze orange as bright yellow? That's absolute crap. If so, we might as well hunt in yellow jumpsuits.

I like the blaze-camo stuff. But this smells like BS to me. Don't forget, if you don't
'UV Treat' your camo, it looks bright blue!!

Hey guys, the guy who invented this stuff lives about 30 miles from tha town I live in, I dont know him or how this stuff works, but Ive seen some advertising on it. Im pretty sure hes a member on this site now too. If Im not mistaken his user name is N2Design. Let me check it out, you guys should get him on this post to answer some questions on it.

I'm am definitely calling B.S. on this one. Deer do not see in color. They have eyesight more closely relatedto a dog (shades of grey). Personally I not falling for that U.V. stuff either! I wouldn't waste my money, just go to wal-mart (or somewhere) and pick up one of those cheapo's for like $1.50.

Please Google "dichromatic vision in deer" and see for yourself what scientists have proven regarding deer and other dichromats vision. You can also look at our patent at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL& p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=540976 0.PN.&OS=PN/5409760&RS=PN/5409760

Vision researchers (including the ones who developed the technology behind Covert Orange) have proven deer see hunter orange as a shade of yellow. By mixing hunter orange with high-intensity UV dye (which deer see very well) it is like mixing two colors of paint the create a third (gray) color.

We realized we would be opening a can of worms when we released this product due to the unsubstantiated beliefs and traditions held by many hunters regarding deer and elk vision. If you choose to ignore theempiricle evidencebehind the technology, that is your right.

I don't agree that deer see blaze orange as bright yellow, they can see orange quite well according to the chart below, the trouble with blaze is it's UV reflectivity which creates a glow. Ordinary blaze sprayed with a UV killer will look like just another patch of orange in a view filled with yellow and orange to them. I'd save my money.

Wowitis a wonder our fathers and grandfathers ever killed any deer without this stuff :eek:

RE: Should I believe this?
 

I feel that wearing blaze orange especially in snow makes you blend right in. I have been picked out wearing it in the fall woods but never when snow is covering the ground. The safety it gives to make one visible to other hunters with or without snow is a slam dunk.

RE: Should I believe this?
 

A deer's vision is it's weakest line of defense. All you have to do is remain still, spot the deer before it knows you're there,move very slowly and only when it is moving or looking away.

Millions of deer get shot every year by hunters wearing conventional blaze orange. This new product may give you a very slight advantage, but is it worth the cost, and could you gain more of an advantage by improving your hunting skills instead?

I've had deer walk with in 25 yds of me look my direction and then continue on. AND I WAS WEARING BLAZE FROM HEAD TO TOE!

RE: Should I believe this?
 

I heard a few years backthat deer saw blaze as blue and someone wanted to change the safety color to hot pink. i read it in Outdoor Life. Well if it stands out that much deer are pretty stupid becasue there are a lot of folks wearing it and killing deer.

Look at the folks killing deer and do what they do.

RE: Should I believe this?
 

i highly doubt it makes any difference..... indians killed deer while wearing a loin cloth.... old timers killed deer wearing red plaid shirts....

RE: Should I believe this?
 

I just had a deer look up to me in my stand the other morning and say that he appreciates it a lot more during gun season when I wear my orange so I stands out like a pickle in a haystack. Then he lit up his cigar and walked away humming the theme to jeopardy.
Then again, my wife says I drink too much.

RE: Should I believe this?
 

I had a deer look directly at me less then 20 yards away. I was on the ground and in the open andwearing a lot of regular cheap-o-blaze orange. As long as I didn't move he didn't think twice about me. I have aways understood deer to see standard blaze orange as grey. Sounds like BS to me.
