Couldn't even tell that you were in the blind with the black on, although very little was seen with the camo either.

I think they looked the same, meaning I couldn't see you at all in either. But I'm not a turkey either.

I don't have turkey eyes, but the black looked more sneaky to me. Good luck hunting Curt.

Black if you are gonna be in the blind all day(half day anyway). I would go with camo, because I know I would be outta the blind and chasing em...  :wavey:

Go with the black...the blind jiggled a bit more when you wore camo!      :smileystooges:

Hence the reversible headcover and why I always have a camo shirt to wear over the black....or I wear all camo and carry an extra big, lightweight black shirt to go over everything.....

I never wear black when walking or hunting outside the blind.....

Cool video, Curt.  The black was definately the ticket in the blind.  Be careful walking along the road in it though.  One of those passing cars might call the cops.

Very good videos...thanks for sharing. Thought I noticed a little movement with camo...black was completely stealthy.    :cool:   Nice birds.

Great videos.  Without a doubt, inside the blind wear black.  I saw some movement with the other but absolutely none with the black.  

Thanks

The black is likely better. However, the photographic way you did the test is slightly skewed IMO. A camera doesn't photograph light the way we see it. Dark areas look darker and light areas lighter. In other words, when our eyes can see into a dark area during daylight a camera can't (if there is lots of light around the dark.)

Cool pics and video feeds mate. I ducked unknowingly when the first arrows was in bound! Gave me a twitchy fright!...lol

Anyways, good guys wear black!

I like to wear black in the blind, when moving I have camo over my black. This year I made a blaze orange cape to put on my mounted hen decoy when I'm on the move, I don't want any accidents. Nice footage Curt, thanks   :thumbsup:

the only thing I could see was the limb of your bow moving. At least that's what I think I saw. Your success over the years shows you know what your doing though. Thanks for the demo Curt.
