aqua750 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 hey guys Im just curious on private land what do you wear, say 90%camo with a orange hat and maybe orange gloves OR the pumkin suit, on state land I always wear orange from the waist up, I used to wear the orange jacket for a lot of years until I hooked up with a group of old buddies who told me If I switched to camo I would see more deer and get more opportunities to shoot! Well I know that deer are suposed to see shades but not colors BUT man they were right hands down In my opinion It was a real game changer and I never looked backl . what do all you guys think???

Five Seasons Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 orange vest and hat. but not in the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If there is any kind of gun season for deer going on, I wear lots of blaze orange. That is regardless of whether it is public or private land. By the way, with today's trespassing problems, and the frequent reports of hunting partners shooting each other, I don't see any difference between public and private land on that score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlockluvr Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If I'm on my own land I only use an orange hat with full camo. But if I'm on public land I will add my orange vest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoupe Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Caveat: Gun season as I can't do bow.Blaze orange camo hat, coat, and bib overalls. Have 'em walk right up to me in some cases. As already said, movement and your face are probably the main things that bust ya from a sight point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecoupe Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I saw the benefit of blaze orange while hunting around Tobyhanna in NE PA. I was standing on top of a "mountain" in a powerline. The line went straight, down one "mountain" through the valley, up over another "mountain" and another valley, then up again to where I clearly saw a guy in blaze orange. He had to be 3/4 of a mile away and I could clearly see the blaze. And that's with no snow down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to be 3/4 of a mile away and I could clearly see the blaze. And that's with no snow down. I see the benefits every year. I can't say how many times I have spotted that flash of orange even before I could tell there was a hunter out there. Even when the lighting isn't all that great that blaze orange catches attention. I am always hoping that when that other guy is swinging his scope across the woods intent on settling it in on a deer maybe it will be that little flash of orange that I'm wearing that will stop him from pulling that trigger. I know that it has stopped some petty unsafe stand set-ups from happening. It's not all that rare that I have had to move to another stand because I spotted that orange of another hunter posted in the area. Yeah, I'm a believer ..... pretty much fanatical about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I had a trespasser pop up just 50 or so yrds behind a doe I was about to pull the trigger on...had he not had an orange hat on ...well it could have been very bad....He saw all the trucks drive off and came up off his place below us in the valley....Let me tell ya...they could have heard me screaming at him in Hornell...scared the crap out of me...I can't believe he'd actually told me that either...how dumb can one person be??...he's luck I take the time to get a good aim.....
