Default RE: hunter orange

someone just posted a link about a study testing deer sight......proved deer could see UV, yellow, and blue, but not red, or green. If your clothing, or blaze orange has UV brightners in it, they say you stand out like a giant blue popsicle.....or xmas tree blinking.

so the color orange isnt suppose to be a color they can see, but UV.....it may have/probably so yes! but again breakup/outline breaking up is key, which is why blaze camo were legal everywhere.

they now make a blacklight flashlight so you can test your clothing in the store to see if it contains UV brightners. the article/link stated UV washes may help but wont elimiinate. best way is to avoid that clothing that contains them. Most clothes from china are now containing them they stated, look around on here for the link/ad.
