GREY-WOOL?????

Who uses grey wool for hunting??

I just mentioned this in another thread, but I would be wary of any clothing that is any shade of blue when hunting deer. From what I understand, deer are almost color blind, but the blues are the one color they see fairly well, so unwound avoid wearing lots of any clothes that are blue or close to blue....some greys may fall into that category.

I don't believe color matters near as much as movement. If you sit still, it's hard for animals to see you.

Just for my $.02, I have a hard time accepting the blue theory. Too many deer killed by blue jean wearing hunters.

We have made a lot of grey wool hats and vests. It might be our most popular color.
All natural color are pretty effective.

I hear you Butch, and I've killed deer wearing blue jeans before, but if I'm buying clothes specifically or hunting, I'm choosing drab colors and avoiding solid color pattern. And I won't disagree that movement is the key, that being said, how many times have you been caught out in the open by a deer who immediately recognized the new blob in their woods? And then the head bobbin, foot stompin game ensues where mr deer tries to get the blob to move lol. If choosing the right clothes can not make me look immediately out of place to a deer, I'll do that.

I use gray wool in my Swedish military surplus pants, my Finnish M-36 hat, the base color in my Asbell shadow plaid.  

It's also the base in my old Winona camo - but that's not wool.

I do.  Grey Anorak...



It seems to be effective...

for solid colors I thought a medium grey was the best color in the woods and Black or all white is not,, deer see your outline better in darker blackish colors but that medium or graphite grey like deer's fur in the fall vanishes in the wide open.

Grey, especially as a base color in plaids or commercial camo, helps create a look of emptiness as opposed to a solid blob. My opinion, and it is only an opinion, is that this is what often causes a deer to "look straight through us". My son, an artist, not a hunter has helped me understand a lot more about how shading and color affect how we perceive what we see. I believe it works the same with game animals.

However, being still is one of the most effective camo tactics we can use.

Gray is great this time of year; Especially in bold plaid, preferably a combination of light and dark gray.Really nice in tree stands where sky-lighting is a concern.

Gray is the color most prevalent in nature, and my favorite. Nobody makes camo with enough gray in it to suit me. Browns and black are just too dark.
