Deer can recognize color and movement in bowhunting hints
The author argues against the myth that deer are color blind, citing personal hunting experience and observations. Movement and camouflage matter more than color, with deer responding to motion and subtle cues. The piece contrasts claims of color blindness with examples of deer reacting to camouflage and human movement in real hunting scenarios.

Conservationist John B. Madson argues deer are color blind and that movement is the crucial camouflage in hunting. He notes wildlife perception varies by species and that staying motionless can yield closer encounters than any camouflage attire. He suggests grey tones may help but emphasizes immobility as the deadliest camouflage.
