Can deer see green or blue light?

[Steverino]

While I am not a scientist, do not play one on T.V. and have not spent the past evening slumbering comfortably at the Best Western , I did read an interesting article in (I believe?) last months Field and Stream that discussed this very topic.

If I am not mistaken, I believe that the article cited a university study (Alabama perhaps) done with wildlife biologists that studied the eyes of deer to better understand how deer see.

I do not recall anything specifically about the color green, but do seem to recall that the cones in a deers eye do see certain images as blue.

I'll try and dig that article up at home as it was interesting-(canchya tell from just how much of the article that I am able to recall here? )


Perhaps someone more knowledgable in this area than I could help shed some light on this subject.

Where are my manners? A big Welcome Aboard Jac!
