What can deer see?

I read an interesting article at Petersen's Hunting called the "Science of Sight:  What Whitetails Can Really See" .  Really fascinating to think about how the hunting industry puts products out on the market, that might not be so great afterall.  I look at a lot of the camo products available, and note that their are REALLY expensive brands, like Sitka, that have lots of grey and bluish tones that probably are not so good in the woods.  I have known about using non-UV intensifying detergents and such.  But, I may just buy a green shirt and pants, and call it good! And, just for grins, her's a few pictures of the big buck we are actively hunting this season.

Archery struggles

This past weekend, went back to the lease to try and get on that big 14pt.  Unfortunately, didn't get on him, but got some good pictures of a nice 8pt working a scrape.  Been tough getting in position.  I grabbed my portable 11' South Texas Tripods & Feeders tripod , and tried to setup on the scrape, but the action I saw were 2 does that came out about 40-45yds away, and I am just not comfortable with that shot. By the way, it was GORGEOUS weather out there... sitting in the stand and 50 degrees was perfect.  No skeeters, etc..
