It looks like you're winning, @Red Beard .
I have to shine a UV light on my gear. Thanks for the heads up.

Haha. Not trying to win... just trying to understand as much as I can about the craft.It looks like you're winning, @Red Beard .
I think some people are also confusing UV killer with detergent that doesn’t contain UV brightners. The detergent won’t cover up your already UV reflective items. But regular detergent will add UV brightners to your non-UV reflective clothing and make them glow when they previously did not, “making your whites whiter and your brights brighter.”
Don't get me wrong, I have always been fascinated by this UV stuff and I do some night hunting for predators and have some GEN II NV with IR and let me tell you, talk about rabbit holes.... sheesh, anyway. Vision is super important and is our greatest sense. But I think more time is spent on scent control because like Predators, their noses are their most acute sense and the one which they rely on most. I read or heard it said one time long ago, something like they always trust their noses. If the deer sees you but can't identify you as a threat, they'll probably still be under your stand. If they hear you but can't associate it with danger, they'll probably still be under your stand. But if they smell ya.... gone! Especially Mr. Big.Exactly!
Guess I wasn't necessarily trying to get into a dispute over the validity of the science in the OP. I was just trying to understand the reason this isn't a regular topic of discussion among hunters. I mean, WE BEAT SCENT CONTROL TO DEATH every single season. Discussions range from "you do you bro" to smoking vs. activated carbon vs. ozone. This season, we've seen an explosion in the amount of discussion regarding the race to see who can accurately fling a 1300gr arrow into the non-scapula of a 3D target from 91yds.
Why is no one taking a picture of their new Cruzr or Flex with the lights off? Uh, wait a minute... please don't do that @Blinginpse! Seriously though, I say this because my Evo lit up like a Christmas tree when I hit it with a UV light.
We put out a lot of content about tips and tricks to help achieve the highest level of stealth possible. I was wondering if this is one of those things a few folks had read up on and are employing as a secret weapon.
Practical application... there's a go in an hour before sunlight vs. creep in during grey light discussion going on right now. Would it change anyone's approach to the answer if you knew you looked like a smurf walking around the woods at first light?
Hi, I'm nutterbuster. Wanna make a beautiful, deer killing baby together?I think if we all just spent as much time scouting as we did researching products and upgrading every gizmo and gadget the hunting industry has to offer we’d be a lot better off.
I also think people give deer way too much credit on the intelligence scale. I’ve had deer so close I can spit on them in a nonUV treated blaze orange vest and hat more times than I can count.
