For Safety
The international orange vests, coats, hats, etc are for visibility, to be seen by other hunters during rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader seasons (in most states you're not required to wear orange during bow season, but most states DO require hunters to wear orange during firearms seasons for small and large game. Waterfowl hunting is sometimes excluded from this requirement.
When you're hunting deer, you can spot the orange a LONG way off, and hopefully prevent other hunters from shooting too near your direction, and vice versa.
Hope this helps.
