I'm undecided on whether to be unseen or mistaken for a deer. Being unseen means a very small chance of being hit by a stray bullet while being seen and misidentified and shot at means a good chance of being hit. Pink would surely trigger 'woman' in any man's head - I thought of this ten years ago. Apparently one can actually get pink cammo. Anyway, I don't know what is best, to be very visible or very invisible. Blaze orange would make one look like grass or leaves to a deer. But does it make one look like a deer to other hunters? It did to at least one hunter who reportedly says he thought he saw deer hair so he shot at it and hit the other hunter in the head. I've always wondered what part of the deer he thought he could see.
There's an word used in some parts of the world - sounder. I know the word to mean a mob of pigs but to some folks a sounder is an sound in the bush that they shoot at!
