My late hunting partner totally enjoyed the details like this.

But the German deer license story was getting old.

You see a deer....I see cutlets.

So, to find this out, who was the lucky researcher that had deer eyeballs transplanted?

If they can see so well why do they keep running out in front of cars?

measured the frequencies of light waves passed from the eye to the brain

Huh? To my knowledge the rods and cones in the retina vibrate in a specific bandwidth which determines what light frequencies register in the brain. The brain receives stimuli, not frequencies/photons. The only way this can be determined with a deer, IMO is via trial and error by shining different light wavelengths in the deer's eyes. Then the deer can tell the scientists what light it can see or not see!

"It’s no surprise that manufacturers of hunting
equipment have been all over those studies."

Life just became a little more difficult for deer.
Too bad.

Sounds like a great opportunity to create Hide laundry detergent! Our detergent lets you look like dirt to deer but clean to your family and friends!

"totally enjoyed the details like this."

Was your buddy one of those that used hunters mouth wash, bar soap & toothpaste?

Deer aren’t very smart. I have no less than 5 that I could drop right now. They’re just wandering around my pasture as I bbq.

Seems like I’ve read that detergent residue really shows up, through some military night vision scopes, also...

I like cammo clothes but in reality they’re not needed for hunting... it’s a sales pitch more than anything. Deer aren’t that elusive and neither are turkey’s. Feral hogs are smarter but you still don’t need all the gear and crap they try to sell you.

Got two turkeys off my back deck this year. One I was in my pajamas and the other one a friend of mine and I were watching TV, saw several turkeys walking down a trail. I said you want one? I gave him the 12 guage, he walked out on the deck and he took that one home.

We watch the deer, bear, bobcats and coyotes... got a good sized 6 point buck I hope to take down before long.

There is a theory that the ancients coated themselves in Red Ocher past/dust because the red color helped camouflage them when hunting.

I’d install a polka dot patterned light projector of
proper wavelength if the 30mph flash dash events would stop.

Deer pupils gather more light, and a greater concentration of light-dark photoreceptors gives them better night vision. Eyes positioned on the sides of the head give deer a broader field of view.

Hmmm ... so all that stuff wasn't just invented by Disney?

Lucky for me that laundry detergent is NOT among my survival supplies for the apocalypse.
