The thing that bothers me about the UV light concept is if the shirt glows in the dark with a UV light on it, but a deer looks upward to a sky slap full of bright UV rays, wouldn’t everything seem to glow hence the shirt would just match all the other objects that rays are bouncing off of?

Still the best break up camo pattern to date.

ASAT is another great pattern. Don't get buried in the weeds on colors. Worry more about whether it is a good open pattern with dark and light contrast that breaks up your blob of an outline as well at 20yds-30yds as it does at 10.
Let's talk UV: bought a $19 light and made an interesting find

You’ll like the old Cabellas Zonz pattern too. You can find some material on like eBay I believe.
Yep. Another good pattern. Zonz Western here.
Y’all just showing your awesome camo patterns with 3 megapixel low fi pictures taken on potatoes at 30 yards away. Show the pattern blending in with good picture quality at sub 20 then I’ll bite.
Unfortunately site only allows certain size pics to load. So, have to reduce pic size to maintain distance. Also, my girl in my pic. She'd shoot me if she knew I was posting her on a hunting forum.
It allows for better quality than that. That’s such a bad quality photo I didn’t even know that was a lady lol.
The first pattern is called High Pine it’s made and sold by Swamp N Stomp, the third picture is of the Broadside Camo, it’s a great camo but their site has been down so I’m not sure if you can even purchase it anymore
If I weren't such a UV weenie I'd order some of that swamp n stomp gears.
I like the pattern because the white is more of an off white than the broadside. Definitely doesn’t seem to hinder those dudes and they hunt Florida public land and a lot of pine trees with little to no cover. One of them tagged out this year (4 bucks, 1 doe). The other guy got 3 (2 bucks, 1 doe). I get the UV thing in Theory but when you’re out there hunting, there would be so many UV rays in the sky that if a deer’s eyes really were that sensitive to UV then everything in the sky would glow back at them. I truly believe it would look more the old cameras before the UV filters were placed on lenses. In those, the UV actually caused everything to look duller instead of bright sharp or glowing.

Ash from a freshly burned fire doesn’t have any UV issues. So this season just paint yourself in ash and roam the woods in your birthday suit.
I think that the deers 100% see the flash from trail cams...is there uv light there? They don't freak and bolt from cameras....
That's a new level of timberpimp
If u roaming around the woods naked i pretty sure u the trick
Thanks! I checked out Swamp N' Stomp....gosh who knew you could hunt in a bikini and be hidden from view....I might have to try it...
Them south Florida swamp women are ruthless man. Their bow season and rut is in the beginning of August when it’s 103 outside. Lol a bikini might be too much clothing
I dont know what you herd ...but there was wild mushrooms involed that time
