Also remember, if deer hunting in muzzleloader season, or rifle season, you have to wear orange, so camo is a moot point, IMHO. Same thing if bow hunting during these seasons, you have to wear orange, as well.
Curious as to what you mean, that orange would make camo a moot point.
From what I've read, deer see reds and yellows very poorly, but blues much better than we do. Orange doesn't pop out to them like it does to us.. it just looks like another shade of brown.
Seriously, camo plays very little in hunting. Movement does. If there was only one color I could have in the woods, it would be OD green. Solid.
Picture wearing a real nice camo(of any brand) and an Orange vest. That orange vest is almost a white vest to a deer's vision, in that it is a light solid color. Now, try moving your gun up to your shoulder. As your camoed arms sweep over your solid colored vest, think of the contrast and movement occurring.
Another big problem with some camo clothing is UV brighteners. A great many animals can see UV reflection. Test your chosen camo with a UV or black light. Does it glow? The deer will see that without the aid of a black light. There are commercial products available that can neutralize that, but many detergents contain UV brighteners. Make sure your detergent says on the label "No UV Brighteners".
People 'learn' what camo brands(patterns) work best for where they hunt. For me, I'd rather be a little on the dark side so as to blend in with the shadows, but a truly good camo has dark and light mixed in. Why I loved and hunted for years in the (actual) Vietnam Tigerstripe. But I still maintain, camo only works when you are not moving. As soon as you start moving, especially on a calm day, your chances of being picked off by your quarry go way up wearing camo as opposed to a solid OD green. You've got to pick your time to move into position, raise your gun, draw your bow, if you want any chance of getting a good shot on a relaxed animal.
Camo looks good, but solid hunting practices trump all.
I found a lot of stuff comes with UV glowing strands in it you didn't know was there. I also found my crossbow strings look like they are glowing green under the UV flashlight. UV blocking wax didn't help either. I actually threw out some older clothes I had from using it.Another big problem with some camo clothing is UV brighteners.

Best camo of all is to sit still and be quiet.
