Whitetail Deer have finally spoken! In a recently published study, Dr. Bradley Cohen and a team of researchers from the University of Georgia, Warnell School of Forestry, trained deer to indicate sensitivity to light by choosing where to go for food. They have confirmed that Deer do indeed see Ultraviolet powered brighteners far superior to Humans, but are unable to see colors such as red and orange as well as humans, “unless’ these colors contain UV brighteners.

This article also went on to suggest that some predator pelts exhibit low near UV reflectance, that would enhance the ability of the whitetail deer to detect these predators during periods of low light, when deer activity is at its peak. It also suggested that wildlife observers and sportsman should be aware of differences between human and deer visual perception, and that camouflage clothing worn by hunters and wildlife observers should “Not” be washed with laundry detergents containing brightening agents. These agents are seen by deer as a bright glowing blue against an otherwise darker background.

This how humans see this hunter.

Atsko Inc. has been educating hunters and sportsmen on this science for over 20 years, and has developed products to solve the problem of brighteners in clothing, and the “blue glow they cause. These products include a Glow Test Kit that allows the hunter to test new or worn clothing for brighteners, U-V-Killer that can permanently eliminate the blue glow by covering the brighteners so UV energy cannot reach them, and Sport-Wash detergent to eliminate odor without adding U-V Brighteners.
