Deer are colorblind....So they don't know your wearing orange....
I might be wrong but the idea of wearing camo is so that it breaks up your body pattern against whats behind or around you...so you blend in....the different patterns for different outdoor situations, seasons, etc...blah, blah, blah

Good Point. Deer are colorblind and see everything in shades of gray but see a wider wavelength of light than humans, from deep in the Infrared to Ultraviolet. What that means is they can see light reflecting off material in ways that we can't. Things like Nylon, Denim, Polyester will shine a bit compared to ferns and pine branches. You can wear blaze orange overalls or tiger stripe and look the same to deer. If they're washed in modern Color brightening detergents you will shine compared to vegetation.
Now if I could just find a Blaze orange wool Ghillie suit and wash it in the right stuff... :chuckle:

WOW....I TOTALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE ALSO...
Think about getting busted from a gamewarden for not having enough orange on and having to pull 400SQ inches of it tied to your ghillie suit off...one small strip at a time putting it together on the hood of his truck.....bet the game warden would still write you a ticket....lol....
