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?


Is this a fact or speculation?
It’s fact that breaking up your outline works, just Google “science deer camouflage.”
It’s common sense that if you dress like a tree, you’ll look like a tree to a deer no matter how they see trees. If they see trees as yellow triangles and you dress like a tree, you’d look like a yellow triangle to a deer. The only other thing is they see UV better, so don’t use UV reflective cloth or you’d look like a strange glowing yellow rectangle.
