Interesting…what kind of paint could be used on a down jacket that won’t flake off or cause issue?
The first wolverine that I saw in the wild was one year when a friend an I were hunting sheep in one of Montana's Unlimited tag units. We were glassing form a ridge above timberline and there were 3 mule deer bucks bedded on a knob about 100 yds below us. They all were staring at something below them. As we watched them, a wolverine was working his way up to them. When the wolverine got about 30 yards from them, a forkhorn buck stood up and chased the wolverine away.
Ultimately, THIS! Camo gives you some ability to blend in but you can't fix dumb. If you are sheep hunting and want to close the distance, blending in matters especially when you have little cover. Most of the times we closed distance, we weren't in the sheep's view so its not like what you wear matters but there has also been times where to get just ten yards closer for a better set up mattered and you could be noticed because they could see you. I rather reduce the number of factors that blow a hunt than be limited.
i was told that too but it is really depending the experiences they had like hunting pressure, predator attacks or just hikers with dogs. the return of wolf like in europe have put moufflons (they are sheep too) and chamois more nervous than ever. here in the yukon older hunters were telling me that consider a sheep fitted with a 8x binoculars i will say that in some aeras in the yukon it is more a 16x while in some others with less human presence like in the richardsons where i climbed they were more curious than nervous even during hunting season as there is 2 tags issued and most of the time no harvest. another good example sheep mountain in kluane lake area (not open except by poachers) except during lambing season you can go close to them and they will not run away from you but will run from wolf or grizzly very fast and it is not the color that make run away but the body shape.
