very falseit really doesnt matter, camo patterns are like fishing lure colors they catch the fisherman more then the fish staying still and playing the wind is 98% of hiding fromelk, Animals
Ungulates have eyes that work based off of movement. Even more specifically on a horizontal plane. And they only see in mostly black and white with some shades of IIRC blue, could be wrong kn that part. Not like our eyes or other predators where they can focus on specific things and identify what they are. They can move through the woods and catch movement that way. It's a very simple explanation to a more complex description but thats the general difference.Les, you sure sound confident that we are wrong in saying the pattern doesn't matter. I will admit "doesn't matter one bit" is stronger than my real opinion. My real belief is that in most situations it accounts for about 10% of anything that actually matters. There are a dozen or more other things more important in determining the outcome IMO.
Les, if we're wrong, feel free to speak as to why we're wrong. Camo companies have done a fabulous job of intentionally misinterpreting the "science of vision" of game animals, but in the end that bs is almost entirely marketing and very, very little science (maybe about that same 10%!)
