I’m not trying to troll, I’m genuinely curious. Thinking about deer specifically, it doesn’t seem like visual camouflage would really help much when hunting them. Deer sense predators by sensitive hearing (big ears) and smell (long snout). Their eyes are on the sides of their head, so they detect motion rather than high-resolution.

So trying to blend in with the surroundings doesn’t seem to be an advantage in this case. Assuming all this, what’s the point of clothing with camo print on it?

    I’m honestly shocked at how many people will seemingly fire at something without confirming their target first, going by all these stories. Like there’s really that many dummies that will just send a round at something that might be moving in the distance?! Sheesh!
