Interestingly enough, I get the same kind of pics in my wool as I do in my fleece. My black wool sweater that I wear in my blind looks white in an infrared photo. Remember, the infrared in the trailcam is not ultraviolet...big difference.

Atsko makes a Sport wash AND a UV killer. I have used the wash for years,never used the UV killer.
Alot of wool that is spun and knitted or woven may have been made with UV brightenrs,same as any cotton/poly cloth.
Our felted wool vests are all natural colors with no dyes or UV brightners,I wonder what they look like in the cameras. I have had many deer and other wild critters look right thru me over the past 9 hunting seasons.
I agree Bill, BIG Difference from UV to IR.

hiya ken,
not really related, but what camera do you use-i am about to buy one- and your pics looked pretty good

The wool that I was referring to is my Ulfrotte long john top. I wear it in my DB blind when it is not too cold as an outer garment. I doubt that it  has UV brighteners in it.

fujimo, we have 5 Bushnells Trophy Cam and it is the least expensive of the bunch, about 199.00. We resurched and decided on this one about 3 yeares ago. I have some wonderful photos! Ken

I think that breaking up the form is more important than this UV stuff.  Almost every time I am busted is either my movement or smell.  I also second someone talking about the type of fabric.  Wool and other rough materials absorb or disperse light.  Some of the new synthetic stuff is slick and almost shiny and tends to reflect light, not to mention it is sometimes noisier.

Also, there is a lot of white in nature - especially on tree trunks, so I don't think white or light grey is necessarily a camo killer.  But, I have proven on several occasions that looking like a 200 lb. racoon in a tree attracts a lot of deer eyes!    :p
