I also think Colorado should allow camo blaze orange. It will show up fine for other hunters, but break up our profile some.

I've worn blaze orange for decades. There is a real difference between military and hunting needs. But the lines seem to get blurred; especially for newbies.
Bayonets are military; it takes a little pocket knife to gut a deer.(done it)
Gillie suits are for military snipers; blaze orange is for recreational hunters. They are not the same people. A hunter is not a military sniper. Need not be. Nor dressed like one.
People just mix peas with corn.

Do you hunt with any short range weapons (bow or muzzleloader)? There would be no real reason to use a ghillie suit with a 30-06, but when your max range is 40 yards (bow) or 120 yards (my max with a muzzleloader) it might have its place. And I am sure not a newbie. At 56 having hunted since I was 10 and hunted in Colorado almost every year since my mid 20s, I have seen lots of things come and go. But I do know that you are good with solid blaze orange as long as you don't move, but when you do, an animal can zone in on you in a second.

Doesn't matter that it is blaze orange, any solid color can be picked up. I would just as well hunt in a black and red plaid shirt as any of the expensive camo patterns because it breaks up your outline. And a blaze camo pattern is just as good as my true camo patterns because game can't tell the difference. But blaze camo patterns are not legal in Colorado.

SO, since we HAVE to use SOLID blaze orange I was simply wondering if adding a 3D affect with shadows and something that waves in the wind like leaves might help you conceal from animals.

Well, I got an email back from the DOW and the law enforcement division said a solid blaze orange ghille suit would NOT be legal. Oh well.

Just curious. What was the reason?

You'll look like a neon sign to other hunters. Isn't that the point of wearing BO?

He said that a solid blaze orange ghillie suit didn't meet the requirements of being "solid" blaze orange.

Muley Hunter

Typical answer from them. In other words he doesn't know.
