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?
Yeah, the smart ones do it from a road at night with a spotlight... no camo required there either.
... I honestly can't decide if I should tag this with an /s or not because it is 100% a thing that happens (also 100% illegal, especially when off-season, no license, and you throw in the case of natty ice, but when has that stopped a determined redneck)
