Maverick351 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Ok so curious how many of you would or would not hunt with a snow camo bow. I have read that deer and big game cant see the camo or patterns anyways but Ive also read about deer using their white tail as a flag for danger. would be used for spot and stalk mainly. My main concern is how the animals would see or if it would matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajohunter Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I know people that have used pink red or blue bows to take animals with. Snow camo would be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick351 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 yes I know the color doesn't matter but Im more concerned with the white of the bow and deer using their white tails to flag danger. I am curious if the white would draw more attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted February 11, 2014 we don't get a ton of snow during the season, if you can i would stay with the earth tones the white may alert them during the fall hunts. only my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seldom Drawn Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Snow camo is fine,we all get caught up in modern tech, me included,I have killed more animals in my life wearing wranglers.a white t shirt and a cowboy hat most of the time a white straw.it's amazing how much we spend on camo I wear it more to hide from other hunters, not the animals.

Maverick351 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 While i practice past that yardage frequently i have enough respect for my self not to shoot that far at an animal. Anyone else have opinions on this subject of snow camo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHALE Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I would stay away from white if it was me. Why have anything that would possibly stick out if you are spot&stalking. If your not confident in it don't use it, confidence is a big tool when going spot&stalk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.smith Report post Posted February 11, 2014 This is my bow. Pretty shiny. My wife watched me stalk a buck this winter and she said all she could see was my orange fletchings. That was through my 15x56 Kaibabs at 300 yds. I stalked well into range of a number of deer with this bow this season. I don't think the shiny bow affected the outcome at all. I doubt a camo white one will either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooter Report post Posted February 12, 2014 It's fine, hunt with it. Deer and Elk are more attentive to motion and unnatural shapes more than they care about colors. As long as your silouhette is broken up and you can sit still, you are fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
towerhouseclan Report post Posted February 14, 2014 I don't think color matters but I understand your concern with whitetail being scared cause of the white. I think as long as your not flashing your bow around in the open you would be fine. But its always better to stay n the shade so you can get closer for a better shot.
