If & when & wherever I hunt, I'll wear orange camo for idiotproofing. NYS statistics make it a no-brainer. However, you can get orange panels to wear over the same stuff you'd wear for color-sensitive turkeys, or wear silhouette-hiding camoflage that uses blaze orange as a color. I would think that it'd be a good idea to avoid the panel approach if possible, because whatever shade of gray a deer may see in blaze orange, the panels still present large, unnaturally square masses. On the other hand, the hunters I see on the idiot box often wear orange panels.

What do you think? Blaze orange panels over your Woodland Camo overalls, or a camo pattern that breaks up all solid masses, but uses blaze orange to warn off other hunters?
