For years now hunting companies have been using scientific research to mold and innovate hunting products.Â This is causing everything from camo patterns, to scent elimination, and attractants to become more sophisticatedÂ as companies are starting to baseÂ productsÂ on how the animal you are hunting perceives the world around it.
Gore and Sitka GearÂ have created the optifade camo patern. http://www.optifade.com/hunting-gear/content/how-science-of-nothing.html
This pattern uses macro and micro patterns, and colorsÂ based on how an ungulate (such as a deer or elk) not a humanÂ views the world.
Bird Vision http://www.reelwings.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2 is a company that sells ultavioletÂ paint for decoys, because a birds visual spectrum is larger then that of a human.
Robo DucksÂ (http://www.mojooutdoors.com/ for example) have been around for many years and uses a small motor to spin the wings of a duck decoy to make it look like it’s landing.
My question to you is there to much scientific reasearch used in hunting or is this justÂ part of a natural progression?
Is there a need for these new products?
