Could the forum make Blue blaze shirts? Or maybe with swazi and see if they,ll throw on the NZHS logo.
Well suggested Toby, was thinking along similar lines, cant get 'blue blaze' anywhere.......UN berets are thin on the ground also, and im not joining up just for a fukin hat!
If we did that Toby then people would be asking us "where in the blue blaze's are you"?
Stoney Creek has them out now
Hunting and Fishing in Hamilton had a couple of them that i tried one on and it looked weird in a non-classic hunting look kind of way, but im sure all 'new' technology looks weird to begin with. (Blaze orange probably raised a few eyebrows to begin with)
The only critque i have is thay they weren't very bright though, in the low light of the changing rooms they didn't stand out much, personally i prefer blaze orange but that just me.
that blaze orange is obnoxiously good, i am keen to see the new kid on the block tho
This kind of blue. if its too dark it would be very great.

Iv got the Mrs making me a bush shirt from that snow camo (black and White) then thought i would have a crack in dying it Blue. Will let ya know how it turns out.
I could just spray die your skin, itl take no more than 3-4 weeks to wash off.
you can be toby the smurf
Oneday had those full body lycra suits in blue on there the other day...tweny-buk bro!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pink is the colour to go for. In the lower light in bush the blue can appear quite grey. Pink however is always pink. Yea you might look like a pansy, sure, but it's better than being shot.
It but won't matter what you are wearing when the guy who shoots you is shooting at movement or sound

Maybe we should just hunt naked. I would defy anyone to think that a naked Rushy looks like a deer. Would be worried about the Ongaonga and bush lawyer snagging big Al and the twins though.

Having first hand experience with this I can honestly vouch for its effectiveness. Not that I was wearing my pink day pack hunting, ... honest.Quote:

In low light a mate was unable to find us. I heard him fire a shot about 800m away so I turned my back to where he was and he had a beacon to walk to. Real men can wear any colour they damn well want! :redbullsmiley:
I thought deer mainly saw in blues and greens, so wouldn't blaze blue stick out to the deer on the backdrop of the green forestry?
Deer certainly dont see the red end of the spectrum but they can see blues , the US wildlife people did research on colours that people could see and deer couldn't , Blaze orange came out as the best compromise , it was the brightest colour deer couldn't see. The lime-yellow blaze now being used by Cops and truckies etc is a better one for us humans but deer can see it too .Quote:

A completely colour blind mate can see ordinary camo from k's away it stands out as a well defined shape .
Birds including waterfowl have excellent colour vision and are smarter than deer (and some duck shooters) so good camo is needed there with no blaze
.
What ever colour you wear it won't make you bullet proof . The best thing is just move slowly , deliberatly and quietly because it is movement that will give you away to a deer before colour will
I much rather have a deer see me and fuck off then get shoot by someone.
Great breakdown Druid, cheers
Deer see blue and so do WASPS! This is a real issue in Nelson bush!
Il stick to my black pants and green top, neither are deer color . if someone is shooting at movement or sound it wont matter what color your wearing.
you spelt colour in American. Fixed your post.Quote:

I think the more hunters who wear blaze the better. I know that if I see even the smallest lick of orange click straight away that its a hunter, its automatic, without even thinking. Any movement should be thought to be a hunter until you prove its game, but I can't be sure that the hunter I meet out there is thinking that way. I feel a bit safer in blaze just because it makes that process of proving what the movement is (or is not) much quicker and easier for my fellow hunter, who, heaven forbid, could be a trigger-happy stag-fevered cowboy - I think even that sort knows what seeing blaze out there means.
I was going to discuss the colour vision thing.
I'm R/G blind according to the ishihara test, and other tests.
I recall reading that a Red deficiency is VERY common in males, as opposed to a R/G which is the 'traditional' male deficiency at around 10% as prior mentioned.
The extent of it is different between individuals but in 'severe' cases you could say, like myself, colour confusion is obvious some times, especially with olive green and some reds. They become brown
Different light makes a difference.
I can swear black and blue something is choc brown even though the tag says olive but under a certain fluro light I can see it as a no questions olive.
Colour is any issue. I'm not aware of pink being an issue with colour vision and thus will push it as 'the' color for safety
How about some pink NZHS for the boys ? :)
Who borrowed it?Quote:

I've got me an ice breaker cadet blue merino beanie I wear, i still get deer wearing it and stands out like nuts on a duck in the bush. My blaze gear no longer gets used, it's kinda lost it's brightness anyway so prob just makes me look like a sika in summer coat to those trigger happy bush blasting mofos
The thing is that not all of us wear any sort of identifying colours , so even if you dont see blaze or blue or what ever , it still could be another hunter so it is still a matter of IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET .
I carry a 1m square of blaze cloth in my day bag , this gets hung on a nearby bush when I am sitting glassing or having a rest , same when I am gutting a deer , then it is wrapped around the deer for the carry out . People who hunt with GSP's Vislas etc should invest in fluro vests for their dogs as well
I get the identify your target but wearing something to help people identify you as a human isn't a bad thing.
Interesting point about dogs there Druid. I have often thought that a Visla is almost perfect colour match for some Deer. Anyone know of dogs being shot when mistaken for game??

Pink for the NZHS boys, and purple for girls ;)
I've got a vest thing for a pointer (some american importer?) that is both tough and bright orange. Also have a smaller sort of hi-vis-vest style bib that I think I got from Mitre10 years ago! The dog sports a blaze collar too. I have never heard of a dog being mistaken for game but I'm not taking any chances.Quote:
