Default What do you wear?

I know that we want to blend in and be camouflaged while hunting, but at the same time, we want other hunters to know we are there. I know a lot of hunters wear a splash of red, but animals spot this. Is there anything else that can be worn to alert others?

Deer are somewhat colorblind. Wear a mottled orange and black, heavy on the orange, to break up your profile lines.

I wear an orange vest over anything that I wear. So usually a pair of camo jumpers with an orange vest over. I am not so keen on deer that I am willing to risk getting shot by another hunter by mistake.

Deer have Vision like the T-rex (motion based) You can get within 20ft of a deer if you move when they look down and don't make a sound and stand still when they look up.

Color doesn't matter, turkeys on the other hand are smarter than deer and have color vision! Wear bright orange or ninja black they will either see you move or they wont.


America is not the land of (get everything you don't deserve) Its the land the (work your ass off and make your own way), if you don't like it go to china, they have free health care and 1$ a day wages.

If you're that worried about other hunters, shoot them.
