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?
The first paragraph didn’t really seem to matter with regard to camo. The second one makes sense. If there were non-camo options for silent clothing, would you pick one over the other?
I’d pick camo for the reasons in the first paragraph. Both options are equal with regard to sound but camo is superior with regard to breaking up your outline. Even if it’s barely an advantage, it’s still an advantage. That being said if my only option was non-camo, I wouldn’t be worried.
