What are the bright orange/red vests hunters wear for? My only guess is that other hunters would see them and know they are there, but if so then why bother wearing camo? Please awnser somebody. Thanks.
In fact, deer can even see into the ultra violet, where blues that are invisible to us appear as bright fluorescent to them.
If you are washing your clothes in regular laundry detergent, they are coated with the dyes and UV brighteners that are added to all commercial laundry detergents. You can see this by using a black light on clothing with UV Brighteners. The deer can see it in any low light conditions.
The only way to avoid this glow is to use specific laundry detergents made for hunters. It should be totally free of dyes, fragrance, phosphates, oxidizers, color, fluorescent whiteners, and lubricants. After using the hunters type of detergent, you should spray your hunting clothes with UV-Killer. Because when your fancy patterned camouflage clothes were manufactured, they used UV Brighteners in the original dyes. They made them to attract YOUR eye, instead of making them for maximum stealth in hunting. (Cabela's carries both Sport-wash, UV killer, and Carbon Blast.)
