I read where white tail deer are dichromatic (two color cones). They can see blue and slightly into the uv range with one, and, green and yellow with the other, IIRC. This plus their larger eyes, should allow them to see all the deer hunters as they sneak into their deer blinds. I don't know if these have evolved from unnatural selective pressure.
