Deer and new osage
PEARL DRUMS:
I believe a solid shape of the same shade/color will catch their eye even if held still. I've never felt comfortable in any bright colors in the woods. I've shot enough deer with orange on my head, I should know better by now but I don't. I wear minimal legal orange and hide myself during firearms season. All the same, give me muted colors, or even blotchy patterns of any colors.
Lets say deer can see 3 or 4 colors/shades, it doesn't matter what colors they are, but they can differentiate them. Whether the bow appears yellow or not, its still one solid shape to their eyes and that's not good, not up here anyway.
JoJoDapyro:
Keep in mind that deer are designed to see movement, and then react. They also rely on their sense of smell to figure out if the movement they see is a threat or not. Dogs sense of smell makes everything as powerful as we smell skunks, and a deer's sense of smell is 20 times more powerful than that.
Pappy:
Guess them Yankee deer are sharper than ours, never really had a problem with them seeing my bow unless like I said it was shiny or I was moving it while they were looking in my direction. ;) :) Of course I don't camo up my face either unless I am Turkey hunting, with Turkey it's a whole different ball game around here . No them bad boys can see. :)

PEARL DRUMS:
I wont lie pappy, our deer are seriously pressured up here and they don't act like deer in other states, except maybe PA where they get pounded for months by millions of hunters. I think Michigan in #2 or #3 in the country for the amount of licensed hunters.
osage outlaw:
I'm going to make some more home made camo this fall. I'm going to try to brake up my outline kind of like how the ASAT camo looks. My dye job last year faded out after a couple of washes. I'm going to stitch different shades of fabric on clothes and leave the edges jagged.
