I just hunted mule deer successfully 5 days ago and all the same things apply. I was on a small 5 acre plot and I was out in the open walking slowly, still hunting when I looked about 70 yards out there was a doe staring at me. She was just over the property line so I couldn’t just shoot. I froze all movement to avoid startling her. I spent several minutes just moving one arm out from under the sling while she tried to decide what she had seen. When she glanced away I squatted down so I didn’t silhouette myself anymore. A few minutes later when she and her friend crossed over I got a clear shot, by then they were just 20 yards away and I was on the ground. Avoid sudden movement. Even if they see you you can still make it work if you don’t rush your movements.

As I got older (72 now) I finally had to quit tree-stand hunting. Sitting on the ground in front of big tree or bush isn't as much fun or easy as it used to be either. Now I have a few ground blinds set up and though I am still very cautious about movement, ground blinds are a great way to conceal movement and contain your human scent at the same time. Sitting in a comfortable chair with a little propane heater keeping the old bones nice and warm out of the wind, rain and snow isn't bad either.

As I understand it, a human outline will spook deer. Camo, in the army is called DPM. Disruptive Pattern Material, blurs the outline. A guile suit with a skirt and long fringes changes your outline. Also their eyes consists of many more rods (for low ligh) than cones (for seeing colour.) So their colour vision is limited, compared to us, but their night vision is far better.

Movement is the key. I once watched a man stalk a very large old buck. He only needed to move 20 yards toward the buck he was in his bed for the day. It took that man 20 minutes to move 20 yards. Slow steady movement and the ability to freeze in an instant. Sound is the second factor. those big ears hear very well. Each step should be as soft as a feather hitting the ground. Or you could just shoot the sob.

Plaid does a surprisingly good job of breaking up a visual outline, and obscuring the silhouette of the dangerous and hungry human.

And, like most other mammals, the eye and brain are optimized to detect motion in their peripheral vision and react to it. many years ago, I was taught to look away from areas I was trying to detect movement in, and it would stand out better. All mammals have a higher rod density at the edges of the retina, and more cones to detect color in the center of the retina. Cones detect color, rods detect motion, and changes better, and are better for night vision.

Deer will also look for your eyes. Many predators can blend into the background, but their eyes give them away. I've sat in many stands without movement, but the deer spot my eyes and then began to stomp and/or blow. Squint, and they go back to feeding and relaxed (for deer) behavior. Give it a try while scouting in pre-season.

Movement is definitely an issue. I learned over the years to make my movement super super slow. Maybe 1/2 inch per second slow when reaching for my bow or rifle on its tree hanger while in a treestand. It has helped me get my weapon in hand many times with deer 30 - 40 yards away. The speed of the movement is a factor in my experience. And if you move while they are looking straight at you, it is 95% to 100% over ! I’ve had many many deer over the years walk within 15 yards of me while sitting still at the base of a tree and never notice me. Of course, the wind was right. If they get a whiff of human it’s 100% over.

They are color blind, but color blindness is often not black/white vision. Deer have Deuteranomaly, a type of color blindness where their vision can't distinguish between red and green. This means they see the world in blues and yellows and muddy greens. Blues stand out especially. Reds look like a dark brown. They can also see some UV light and some detergents use UV brighteners in them. Don't use them on your hunting clothes!

It’s like red light green light

Well I had shot deer that was looking at me from where I sat on the ground and shot it in the chest a 4 point buck. he could see me easy. All wore was the brown insulated coveralls and a camo hat that is it and also use what ground cover there is around me. I still get my deer. I had also shot them 5 foot from me. What I found from all the ones I hunted is that fast movement is the dead give away to them. when they not looking at you and you see they are busy looking at what they looking to do then you move slow to set up for a shot when they look toward you , you freeze and then when they not looking and then finish till you set to shoot. It always work for me. Also when I was out squirrel hunting and had already filled my deer permits I was waiting for some squirrels I had put my phone away and hit accidently a wrong number and talk with the person on the phone and had a spike buck that had about over 2" spikes and was walking toward me and I was still talking on the phone and the deer kept walking toward me. when I got off the phone it still came toward me and I started talking with it ., it came about 35 ' from me and look at me and walk away like normal. I did wear my blue jeans and blue jean jacket. I did not spoke it or anything.

I shoot Blue and White vanes with arrows that have yellow label....the deer have eyes on the side of their head....seeing see the red coming out of their side it is the last thing they see......

Sight, sound, smell.....I've found you have to trigger two of those three, whatever combo, to spook a deer.

smell alone will get you as well

So would a black jacket still be okay in a tree stand, as long as you aren't skylined?

People have been hunting/harvesting whitetails for thousands of years, long before camo was invented. Although camouflage can help, we say go hunt in whatever you want!

It amazes me how many people don't understand how deer vision works at all... way to many people think there vision is similar to human vision... guess that just means more deer to scare towards me!

Yup, that is a very common misconception.

What caliber was the rifle that was used?

I don't believe there was a rifle used in this video..? Maybe referring to a different video?

Why do deer bound right into or in front of a vehicle thats headlights are on?

Good question. Probably not because they don’t see the lights. They see lights all the time. But they don’t understand that it’s 5000lbs of steel that is behind the headlights coming at them 🤷🏻‍♂️ totally an assumption.

How do you know what color they can see?

Based on dissection of the eye ball and looking at the rods and cons.
