Default RE: Hunters Orange

I've always heard that deer aren't as color blind as they've been made out to be. Though they did give up some color vision to be able to see so well in the dark. The red and red hues is what they gave up, that's why blaze orange is so difficult for them to see. A deer sees it as just another shade of grey. From what I've heard their green vision is about as much as our would be if not better.
Up in the UP of Michigan it seems that a lot of people are wearing blaze orange coveralls that have splotches of black in it. It still meets the mininum blaze orange requirment and breaks up their outline. It makes sense to me, I might get myself a set this year for gun season.
