you would definately need alot of snow because its not the color that they'll see but the bright dot moving on the dark shaded hill.

I dropped my light grass type colored camo pack once on the tundra and spent two hours searching to find out where I left it after taking an animal... Anything that would stand out, heck yea, give me a bright orange with pink polka dots covered pack, atleast I'll find it when I come back after a stalk. Same goes for tent. Give me the brightest, most flamboyant tent going on the market, atleast I'll see it when I return from nowhere...

Anyway the reason he gave me was that deer use that white flag on thier tail as a warning sign. When walking through the woods this time of year how much white do you see? :dunno:
