I think it was a hoax- you didn't even get in the blind- you shot from behind it  ;)  - you've got the birds figured out for sure. Good luck.

Dang I like the black look or lack of look.  I'll be using it in our blinds from now on.


Now I need a place to hunt turkeys this year.

I've been using black in the double bull blinds for three years now, anything else they can see, because their eyes don't operate like a camera.  It is especially important to wear black on your bow hand, it's the first thing they will see if you don't, and if your bow has white overlay on the front, find something to cover it.  If you wear glasses, they will see the reflection from them.  I were even in warm weather a camo mosquito netting over my glasses, to minimize the glare.

I see way more in the one with camo. If ya look at the very center where the one strap comes down and kind of connects top and bottom of window ya see all sorts of movement. Nice, ya huntin' in the morning?  Shawn

Hmmmm...some of you don't see a difference?  Guys it's the "little things" or "attention to detail" that will lead to success....don't overlook them    ;)


Mark, Thanx bud, but tomorrow is opening day and all I'll be able to do is scout before work.....time off is at an all time low for me this year. Hopefully the predicted rain for Sunday will hold off. Scouting has proven that there's a few birds that have "been targeted for termination".....just need the chance to hunt them before someone else screws them up......


Shawn, good luck tomorrow bud!

I saw movement in the first video. I believe it was a crew cab.  :p

We are looking at it to human eyes, try making your pupils 4.5 times as big, and you may see movement in both videos.

Wearing black just works.  But if you wearing a shiny black fabric, they will pick that out just as well.  Not as much as they will camo.

Curt, I saw a riser/limb flash in the CAMO sequence. If you hunt in the CAMO shoot the black bow .Gotta love that black glass.

Why can't everybody see all the movement in the camo shot. It is not just the bow, but the bow arm and shoulders as well as his head, ecsp. as he is getting ready for the shot. Shawn

Saw more movement of the blind, than of you. I bet the birds see that more that camo or black.That said seems like you get your drumsticks

Cool videos Curt. From watching the videos, I don't think it was your clothes that we saw moving. I think it was light reflecting off the bow as you moved it into position. The black one obviously reflected less.  ;)  Just my $0.02....  :D
