I guess a lot of hunters didn't know that! Bambi doesn't see what we see.

That was interesting Sue.
They are selling a product so I will have to check and see if what they say is true about deer seeing UV blue.
If they are right it explains a few things I have noticed over the years about how deer act.

The reason I go to Fluorescent orange in the fall is to keep from getting shot by the Nimrods.
I do not wear white in season for the same reason.
Whitetail deer flash the underside of their tails when they are alarmed and fleeing. It is like somebody waving their handkerchief.
Not only is a white flash an alarm for the deer, I have known people who would shoot at anything that flashed white on the assumption it was a deer they had spooked.
