BLAZE ORANGE.

[turkeyfeather]

I don't see what the big deal is. Deer cant see it, and other hunters can. Personally I think you'd be an idiot not to wear it. It is in no way going to harm your hunt.

they may not be able to see the color but they will pick out a solid shape that doesn't look common to them. I don't put my orange on until I get back by the road, get around the trail head or if I'm packing something out.

That's the reason why we have blaze vests with black branches breaking up "the blob".

I really disagree when I hear people say that deer can't see it. Deer can see brightness! Why don't they make camo blaze orange then?

If that't your only argument there are alot of light er or brighter shade camo patterns that  wouldn't work. Namely the light open country type patterns. Yet they are some of the most effective there is. Oh and they do make blaze orange camo. Where have you been?

[turkeyfeather]

I am just curious, do you guys think that hunters are foolish for buying camo and that deer can not see blaze orange?

Some people buy camo TP, camo pajamas, camo knives...I'm not sure it helps their success much but it helps the manufacturers.

That wasn't my question. I will assume that you think that camo is a waste of money by your answer. Not picking, just trying to understand. I really would l like to know what Bearpaw's opinion is on this.

In reality camo is a waste of money. Any clothing that has a pattern that would break up an outline will work. Plaid is probably one of the best. We buy camo cause we like it and it looks cool. Plus we have convinced ourselves it is necessary. It's not.

The law should have required Hunters and Non Hunters to wear orange during a firearm season. I use it 50 to 75 percent of the time.

Especially since so many hunting areas are now Discovery Pass areas.

All users while using an area during hunting season need to be seen. Most hunters are experts at identifying their target before pulling the trigger but some aren't.
But neon fluorescent charchuse should be the givin color since "orange" blends in with Autumn colors more

Deer are in fact color blind my friend, they cannot see it, had a nice buck walk up to 15 yards looking right in my direction an all I had in front of my was a sparse alder tree, never saw me wearing a solid blaze vest.

I don't care about the color blind part. I was talking about the brightness. I was raised with black and white tv's and we could tell what was what be it a dog, a cat, a deer or a human.

BY THE WAY, EVERYBODY!! I AM WEARING BLAZE ORANGE! just closer to 300 square inches instead of 400. My question wasn't about safety, I'm not an idiot, my question was, do you think in the rare case of even seeing a warden (never have hunting) would he ticket me?

Nah, wash it it UV brightener free detergent and deer will see you in a shade of grey, like everything else besides black. I hunt in pretty thick stuff anyways so by the time they are in site, they probably should have smelled me first.

I think you will have a hard time arguing that gloves are "worn above the waist".

Cabelas has a nice vest.

I think it depends.

Depends on the warden, depends on the mood the warden is in, and depends on your attitude when he contacts you.  He may give a warning, then again he may write a ticket.     I suspect that if you tell him you know you have 300 sq in and you know the law says 400 sq in, he is likely to write the ticket.

Idiot? Really? But you are right, they won't see you when you make that 400 yd shot with your high powered rifle

My experience.
Yes you would get cited.
They are looking for the 400 sq inches above the waist.
We have seen guys in Sioxson with the little traffic vests tryin to argue out of a ticket.

I was at the grocery store today and saw blaze orange cases of Busch.  The cases appear to have more than 400 sq in of blaze on them.  Do you think if you carry a case with you as long as it is above the waist it would meet the requirement?

Maybe if you tape it to your back..........
