OK, as a non-hunter (not an anti-hunter, please note), I have to confess some confusion. Camouflage? I thought hunters were supposed to wear blaze orange so as to avoid shooting each other. Are bears colorblind? How about deer and other quarry? Does wearing orange decrease your odds?
I noticed that, too. Others here on past threads did mention how bears can see colors.
Most mammals are colorblind. The blaze orange is used to identify and protect the hunters from the other hunters. In some seasons blaze orange may not be required and then camo gives an advantage such as bow season for deer in some areas. That said, the camo does break up the pattern of your body and helps disguise the hunter even if you are wearing blaze orange on your chest, back and head.
Depends on state law and the season.
In Michigan, I have to wear some orange (usually it's my hat) when deer hunting. When turkey hunting, I Don't need to wear orange.
depends alot on what you're hunting. there's alot more people out for gun season for deer than just about any other season. also, that's when most of the yahoos are out. so we wear the blaze orange for safety.
turkey, bow, bear, and elk will see a much smaller crowd and there is less likelihood of there being another hunter in the area. that and bear and turkey see in colour.
