Deers eyesight isn’t anywhere near as good as ours is it?

When I was 16 and a member of the Wellington NZDA my Father and I went on a club hunt with who I now consider to be the biggest fucking idiot I've ever hunted with "Chris Dummer" and ironic name if I've ever heard one. Night prior we had discussed where everyone would be hunting and as I was the youngest I got the first pick- we caught him hunting in the area where I had picked the next morning and his excuse was that there wasn't anything where he decided to go, as is that's a shit excuse but on top of that it was still too early for him to have even tried his area..... it was obvious he just decided he was going to ignore the plan from the get go.

My Dad wrote an email to the president of the NZDA saying he wasn't safe and it was asking for trouble, we left the NZDA and about a year later he ended up shooting a guy in the head who was wearing a blaze orange beanie- one of the reasons I refuse to wear blaze orange or hunt with idiots.....you can't fix stupid.

One thing is certainly true about camo, you're a lot safer from an idiot with a gun if they can't see you.

I will continue to wear some camo- why - I need every small advantage I can get yuk yuk
