I've worn just about every color when out deer hunting. Movement is what has always busted me, followed by smell during a shifting wind.

In the seasons where orange isn't required, I wear whatever is comfortable and appropriate for the conditions. The very little camo I own was bought for it's scentlock properties, not color or pattern. Movement and scent are what spooks them. I will wear a mask if I'm ground hunting to break up the outline of my face though... but I can't really say it makes a difference. |

Been washing gear with no scent and no whiteners. Was 30 yards from a doe when we spotted each others movement.

Deer have two color receptors, along with significantly different visual response than humans.
See: http://www.atsko.com/how-game-animals-see-smell/ It's not that deer can't see blaze orange, it's that it is low on their visual sensitivity so that a bright object in that color looks medium tone to them. It would look the same as a dark green or brown. The biggest difference is that their blue vision is substantially better, along with a lot of sensitivity in the UV spectrum that humans can't see at all. |
