My question has to do with UV light. Several years ago my brother and I were walking along a field edge to swap the card in one of his game cams. It was after we climbed down and was pretty dark. I forget the brand of camera but it was one of those invisible flash ones. He was wearing the latest and greatest goretex camo while I was in my old broken in and comfortable fleece. When we got back and checked the card the camera had caught a picture of us retrieving it. The difference was remarkable! He stood out like a glowing beacon while only a portion of my face could be made out.
My question is: was the flash on this camera similar to the way deer see UV light? How do you combat this? Do you use UV treatment on your clothes? Personally other than rainwear which I typically use untreated I hunt in wool or fleece and don’t have much trouble with being seen. How do you test your clothes for reaction to UV light?
