[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2246172, member: 10755"] The colour of the cam pattern is moot, animals only see in shades of grey to brown anyway. We did a 20 year pen observation on Sambar deer here in Australia. The pen was 30 acres with all natural bush and only a few clearings which were natural, not manmade. Deer see the blue spectrum, it is like a beacon to them if someone is wearing blue jeans, for example. White is also bad. Blaze orange, reds, greens and other neutral colours they are unfazed by. Do not use UV brightener in your laundry washing either. We put mannequins with red checkered shirts and green pants around the enclosure, deer would feed right next to it, put UV brightened clothes the same colours and the deer would not be seen on the game cams in those areas until the clothes were removed. Same goes with blue jeans whether washed neutrally or with UV brightener. It was a very interesting study and we learnt a hell of a lot about clothes, scent masking and stalking approach. Regarding stalking, the wind and sudden movement are the key to success. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
