“...this may sound silly...”
Yes, it does sound silly. Here in Pennsylvania, if you are not moving, the deer don’t see you. It does not matter what you are wearing. If you blink, they see that and they’re gone.
If you don’t move how are you going to raise your bow and shoot? Maybe the critters out West ain’t as dumb as the critters back East. Y’all should try and hunt some of these West Texas Whitetails, Antelope and Aoudad, all of which I’ve taken with either recruves or longbows. When your talking inside 20 yards on the ground it’s a whole different ball game.
