Perhaps you are thinking of a new hunting technique and deer camouflage might be the right choice. There are many types of camouflage, including Optifade (Blue light), Breakup and Breakup. How do you choose the best camouflage techniques? Continue reading to learn the best. If you're interested in making your hunt more successful, you can consider trying a new technique.

Optifade camouflage

The deer camouflage Optifade is designed to fool deer's eyes. They have a lower resolution than humans. The camouflage's color patterns emphasize blue, gray and white. It is therefore difficult to spot by deer. The pattern mimics forest settings by blending into the foliage and blending into spatial relationships. This camouflage pattern tricked deer to believe the hunter was a tree stand.

Mimicry camouflage

You can conceal yourself well when hunting deer with mimicry camouflage. It is important to hide your eyes well because deer have poor eyesight. You can use mimicry camouflage if you intend to hunt in areas with little seasonal change. You can also wear bright orange vests that won't clash well with the grayish brown deer.

Breakups

If you're looking for a deer camouflage pattern that is both effective and universal, you've come to the right place. Breakup patterns can be used to break down silhouettes of deer, fown, and other game. This makes the hunter appear part of the background. Mossy Oak's Breakup Country pattern is a blend of gray tones and fir and pine patterns and works well in the Rocky Mountains, from Alaska to Colorado. It also works in northern California.


Blue light

Deer are able to see color but not in the same way as humans. This is widely accepted. They are able to distinguish between short and medium wavelengths but not long. Brian Murphy, the CEO of Quality Deer Management Association participated in research at the University of Georgia that showed that blue light has an octave lower than red. Blue light is also easier to detect as deer have a larger pupil.

Vision field of 270 degrees

Start by identifying your deer's strengths, and then determine the best deer camouflage technique. Deer are remarkably sensitive to blue light and have a 270-degree field of vision. Using these advantages, researchers worked with Guy Cramer, a designer of military camouflage, to create camouflage patterns that exploit the deer's visual strengths and weaknesses.

Color sensitivity of deer

Many theories exist about the nuances of color sensitivity. Deer are not colorblind, which is quite interesting. Their retinas, the back portion of the eye, are comprised of cones and rods. They are responsible for daytime vision. However, deer have less cones than humans. The superior night vision of deer is a result. Deer are able to distinguish green from red, but they can recognize light gray from dark brown.
