Tim for what it's worth about 15 years ago I took several different camo shirts and hung them in the woods . Hearing that deer are basically color blind I took pictures of them with black and white film . Most of the shirts were noticably darker than the surrounding cover but the pattern that seemed to dissappear was the predator patterns . You are also in Jersey and as I hunt mostly pine woods the spring green pattern is without doubt the best I've ever used. A few years ago I was hunting with my Son who was in a pine tree about 25 yards away and I could see his face mask but was amazed at how well he blended in .Most often deer scan right through me and never lock onto me unless I move , which happens a lot , but even when they wind me they rarely pick me out. My experience anyway .
