Don't you need to hide and be quiet so as not to scare them away?
Will they spot the orange gear, or are they color blind?

Don't laugh at my questions.
I'm a city girl living in a rural world.

I would prefer to buy him the orange safety stuff, but if is no good for deer hunting, he won't wear it.

When I was a kid my dad told me that deer and elk can't detect the color of orange like we can, but they can detect the brilliance of the color. If that's true then the hunter would be easier to spot by both man and beast.

Your grandson must wear orange so he doesn't get shot by another hunter...you probably have many more hunters in the woods in your more populated area so I would definitely wear orange. We wear orange here too for safety. Just call your local sporting goods store and ask them...they will know what's best for your area for both deer and bird hunting.

P.S. I just watched a very good movie...for the 3rd time.

"Last of the Dogmen" 1995, starring Tom Berenger and Barbara Hershey. The story is scripted in Montana, but not sure if that's where they actually filmed it.

You can watch it free on Youtube...you won't regret it.
