I wear blaze camo I’ve taken somewhat over 30 deer. The last 20 with blaze camo vest The first 10 with regular blaze orange vest. I’ve spooked more deer with body stink and noise. I’ve had them stare in my direction with them not being able to pick me up visually unless I move. Orange is like white to them. Against dark woods it will spook them if you move but if your still it’s like a patch of snow to them.
If a deer runs I have run parallel to it. They can’t pick you up moving if they’re running. Stop when they stop.
I’ve stopped hunting for health reasons. I let my boys get my venison. One of them shot a fat doe yesterday.
This is what I have always done also, even in bow season. I don’t fear that the deer might see me, but I damned sure want to make sure other hunters see me. Ever hunted on horseback? You can walk right up to them because they think you are just another weird looking four legged animal. :)
