Thread: Cleaning Hunting Clothing

Don't totally disagree with the UV theory but often talk about when we were meat hunting and used blue and black swannies. Theory is blue creates or attracts UV rays but most deer in those days were shot under 100 yards in the open or 30-40 yards in the bush. Also when poisoning possums would often get the feeling of being watched, look around and see a deer standing looking at you close by.Generally bolted when eye contact was made. Nobody knew of UV ray theories back then. Bloody gear was usually thrown in the old agitator washing machine in the middle of the night and set on pre- soak til morning and then washed with soap powder.
