Thread: Clothing Colour When Hunting

Have lost a good mate due to misidentification in the bush. I only do blue. Not a blaze orange fan. My Dad is colour deficient in red/green as is my wife and brother. I have clearly experienced my Dads difficulty in locating orange track markers and red blood in the bush through my life as it looks brown to him. Blue is a different story, completely unnatural and it is seen by all of them much easier. We have bumped into hunters in the bush whilst wearing blaze blue and had them comment on how easy it made it to identify us as something out of place. None of this is an excuse to properly identifying your target but human factor and mistakes are real and they will never ever go away. Therefor when in the bush during busy times like the roar I choose blue to maximise my chance of coming home to my family. What I look like to deer is an after thought in these situations.
