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?
It’s not always to actually shoot the deer, when you see hunters at night using spotlights to, well, spot deer. We used to do it when I was 18 as well. It was more to find and designate feeding places for the deer and then plan shooting spots based on that.
