The debate goes on. After 30 years of deer hunting the question is still what do deer see? I don’t just jump on any expert’s bandwagon nor do I believe everything the biologist say, but I do compare what they say to my own experiences and I try to stay open minded and to glean valuable info from any hunter I can.

I still find some things are still inconclusive, like a deer’s eye site. We know for a fact that deer see different than we do and that’s all we really need to know. I firmly believe it doesn’t matter what colors they see or shades of colors, but the question should have always been can I create a camo pattern that mimics a deer’s surroundings? If you do that, it doesn’t matter what they see. The camo made today is not designed to create an illusion but to break up your outline, so if a deer does see you it won’t know what you are. It works, but here’s the rub, they see a blob of something that doesn’t belong there, you block what they should see or you look nothing like your surroundings and bam your busted, the deer goes into alarm mode, stomps blows then they’re gone. That’s where skymo is different, when used properly it will absolutely give you the edge and reduce the odds of detection. What do I mean by properly used? If the foliage is heavy I just wear the jacket, as the leaves fall and more sky is visible I will wear the whole outfit. Skymouflage is not a magic bullet nor does it make other camo obsolete, but what it offers no other camo can, a new strategy, a new concept, and a different way to look at camo designed (not deer eye site). An optical illusion, that is my goal and no other camouflage can offer that nor can any cover all the bases or do it all, there will always be the fail factor. After 30 years just last year in my yard I looked up in one of my trees and it dawned on me, the perfect camo. The closer the pattern looks like where you hunt the closer you get to an illusion. When a magician makes an elephant disappear you can’t see it but it’s still there, that’s my goal. The camo we buy today is a bunch of every thing crammed on a light or dark background. Skymo is a simple, nothing fancy old school style print that may need some tweaking, but I really believe in it, and it’s here to stay. This is something totally new and it will take some getting used to looking at, but it works. I think this way of looking at deer hunting is something to really take a hard look at.  

Remember, real character is what you do when nobody is looking.
