All Bow Hunters Must See This! Simulated Deer Walk in Deer Vision.

In this simulated version of deer vision, I put on multiple camo patterns, including a 3D Leafy Suit and a Ghillie Suit while preparing for a bowshot while the camera simulates a deer cruising into a prime bowshot spot from a treestand. Understanding when to move will let you see more deer up close and choose when to make the best shot.

This really shows how nearly all camo just turns to big blobs at the distance deer would be. It was great to see how the blaze orange performed!

@CamoMatrix Жыл бұрын

Yes. A big macro orange and brown pattern might be the way to go. It always comes down to what you like, quality of functional design, fabric engineering and what you can afford More like this coming.

When you look up into the trees,particularly during late fall ,you see quite a bit of sky through the branches and leaves..having a camo pattern interlaced with white/Grey is you best bet..all my ladder stands have tarp/burlap around them, blocks my lower body movements ,and I paint em with lines/ slashes/blobs of white/grey..blends in with my background and takes away the dark blob of my stand

@CamoMatrix Жыл бұрын

Yes, higher would be more realistic for most guys. I may do a saddle also (maybe leaning away it just looks “big branch” like). I was only about 12 feet off the ground to do out best with the limitations of the camera view. More to come

Thanks - that was a lot of work! It's crazy how well the blaze orange melts into the leaf canopy. Your video reinforces what they always say - your camo isn't as important as not being busted moving and hunting the wind (scent control).

I will be doing a late season one soon

@mrflytyerpinewood3708 Жыл бұрын

Brilliant idea you came up with. I think it's more realistic than the showdown vids, however I loved those too. I appreciate your effort and time you put in making this one. The backlit angle shows that no matter what you put on you'll always be a black silhouette to the deer. The blazing orange, 3d leafy and Ghillie suits worked best, I reckon. I'm curious how the front lit view would show the real difference between different camos. If you ever planned to do it again could you also test ASAT along with other patterns of your choice? That's a massive job you're already doing, mate. Seriously, the Camo brands should be paying you money for what you do for them. Not kidding! Cheers

@CamoMatrix Жыл бұрын

I do plan on doing shooting this again with the sun on the opposite side and as the season and foliage changes. Yes, ASAT, VuniGear and possibly Kuiu Verde might be a good performer with the backlit set up. When I started hunting and was getting advice from old school hunters (guys now in their late 70's and early 80's who hunted before all these camo choices - who STILL HUNT BTW), they would say, pick a spot that is down wind and puts the light in their eyes. Of course, I can never convince a deer to follow the path I selected for them to take. I try with hinge cuts and cut trees, etc, but sometimes, that camo is going to need to help!

@bbmopar3834b Жыл бұрын

Great job on this! As far as the treestand aspect goes all the camo looks the same. I believe you would need more macro to really make a difference. Im honestly in the mind set after all these videos that you buy what is comfortable and what you can afford.

@CamoMatrix Жыл бұрын

That was a morning time video so the sun would have been lower in that prime time shooting window. I will need to do an afternoon version with the light on the opposite side so see if the camo is visible. But yeah, a big macro pattern may be the most effective in this situation if the color even shows. I almost think a macro brown and orange would be best.

@rickyoung360 Жыл бұрын

I would like to see the same method applied to lighter based camo pattern like Scent-Lok Vertigo Grey, ASAT or Predator Fall Gray or even a snow camo of some sort. Cool video!!

@jeremymcentire1987 6 ай бұрын

Why aren't there more blaze orange and safety green camo patterns available? Something that takes a good camo pattern and replaces the two lightest colors with those and retains the muted browns and greens for the darker colors -- with a UV treatment. It seems like it would be better than a huge field of orange for what it's worth but still very effective for standing out to other hunters.

@WeekendPursuitOutdoors 8 ай бұрын

I'd like to see this same test but in a stand with better back cover where the hunter isn't silhouetted against the skyline. Also, Sitka Evevated II camo would be a popular camo to add to this test.

@jj-eg5up Жыл бұрын

I am a novice hunter, and you confirmed what I witnessed one time I was in a tree. I watched a small deer from a tree for several minutes. The deer busted me after moving its head side to side many times. It was really interesting. I figured that since they see motion well, they kinda created motion by moving the head around.

@CamoMatrix Жыл бұрын

Usually that head bob means you are busted. They are looking at and around you to try and make out what you are since your shape isn’t something they normally see in the space you are occupying. If they do stay around you it is either a buck that won’t live to long or they are so hyper focused on food or breeding. The bob helps them look at you from different angles for threat assessment and it may also be used to try and get you to move.

@sethgraves4572 Жыл бұрын

This was fascinating!! As far as camo goes, you were right that with this setup it really didn’t matter…quiet and still are the best. I have a stand in a location similar to this. In my mind, I’m hoping that the deer will think that I’m a branch or fork in the tree.

@CamoMatrix Жыл бұрын

Thanks, I have been planning this for a while and shot it twice trying to get it to look right. More will come like this one. I am considering using two cameras simultaneously to shoot the 300 degrees but still will be limited to squashing into the 120 degree view of the screen. It will show us both sides (what the deer is processing) and may be for an interesting watch. I am also going to to this at different times of the day and during different times of the year. I may need to set up a "dummy" location since I am using some of my real hunting locations and might be hurting my own tag punching chances.

Yeah, i was working on creating a color spectrum that matched the classic conditioning study done by the U of Georgia some years ago but the deuteranopia filter i am using is very close to their explanation (with the exception that “some green” was seen by deer in the study.

I live in NC & wear Realtree Edge camo mostly & past couple of years I’ve found that sneaking into your spot and setting up on ground can be more productive than trying to carry stands and set up and climb up a tree and get busted unknowingly before u even start hunting ! I like use natural ground cover and try to have front & back cover if possible but I’ve been thinking about the ghillie suit but I’m favoring the 3D leafy camo but don’t know what brand is the best bang for ya Buck … what brand 3D leafy suit is best budget for ground hunter with crossbow ?

@CamoMatrix 9 ай бұрын

Those ground set up can be killers. Being able to use the ground and surroundings as part of your cover is great. I killed my largest NC buck last year from the ground on a hillside nestled into a tree stump and some deadfall. I have a ghillie and 3D suit. The ghillie will be the best but for any body movement, the 3D leafy will be easier and still provides great concealment (and packs much easier too) I wouldn't want to walk to my spot with either one. Give the guys as Quick Camo a look. Good guys, small company and a bunch of options. quikcamo.com/?ref=camomatrix

I'm seventy-two and choose to spend more time on the ground than in a tree these days. Interestingly, I'm spotted less often than when in a tree. Deer get closer before they notice me when on the ground, however, they react with greater intensity. When spotted in a tree, deer notice you but will often get over it as long as they don't see you move. I actually enjoy ground hunting better but find that I am less patient.

@CamoMatrix Жыл бұрын

I can agree to that. I like to hunt from the ground, the tree and still hunt(my favorite). I will be doing the same thing from the ground in the near future. Thanks for watching!

@EHM0341 Жыл бұрын

All of the camo you presented still produces a distinct human silhouette when backlit, or on the ground. The ghillie suit is probably the best for breaking up the human outline. However, there is always a shadow side to the human silhouette, and no mater what camo you are using, it is always pronounced as demonstrated in this video. In other words, no matter what camo you are using, it did nothing to truly camouflage you. But I really noticed something at 4:31 with the blaze orange. It is in the same deer color spectrum of the surrounding leaves. If you were wearing camo with big blobs of Blaze orange it would completely mask the human silhouette and you would naturally blend into the background. In this video, your upper body is less pronounced, but your legs still stand out. Not sure how a deer would read into that. I think I'm going to sew a bunch of blaze orange swatches to my hunting gear. Be careful if you use a ghillie suit or any other camo that makes you look like a bear to other hunters. Good luck and good hunting.

This was shot with a backlit sky. This really make the camo look like a “blob”. I have also shot this in a dark forest. The result was similar but with slightly more camo features showing.

@CamoMatrix 7 ай бұрын

They can regulate the amount light they see during the day as we do with pupil dilation. But yes, they may not see very well up in the trees if the light is bright in the sky and blue. Because you never know their approach angle, if they approached from the non-backlit direction, wearing blue might stand out in a sea of green or brown or grey
