I have been looked at in Texas thru a scope or two, I have no doubt. I have seen more orange in the woods than green. It is a hair raising experience when you go in early and there are 2 trucks on the side of the road all the way in and when you come out you count over 300.
Caddo National Grasslands-Day after Thanksgiving.
Toledo Bend - the very next weekend
etc. etc.
What I am trying to say is, not everyone has a private lease where they know everyone for life. Some people hunt public land or Type II land.
In that case, you should never wear anything the color of deer or it may get shot at. The Type II regulations will be to wear head and chest orange.
Also, people hunt differently. Anyone that picks a location and trys to be still and hunt has had that good ole boy trod thru "still hunting" wearing his work boots and smelling of last nights beer. So, if he is out there with a rifle and you are hiding in your tan carhart bibs, you have one strike against you and the pitcher is throwing heat.
