I’m not trying to troll, I’m genuinely curious. Thinking about deer specifically, it doesn’t seem like visual camouflage would really help much when hunting them. Deer sense predators by sensitive hearing (big ears) and smell (long snout). Their eyes are on the sides of their head, so they detect motion rather than high-resolution.

So trying to blend in with the surroundings doesn’t seem to be an advantage in this case. Assuming all this, what’s the point of clothing with camo print on it?

    Most ones here will either spot a deer while doing their farm runs and then go and hike around the area trying to track it down. Shooting deer from a helicopter or dugout is extremely looked down on. (shooting ducks from a bivy is fine tho).
