Is this something I should be concerned with if I decide to use a decoy this hunting season?
Wearing orange is
definitely reccomended while setting them up and taking them down. The reason I use the 2-D dekes is that they fold into a small parcel that no longer looks like a deer walking along, they're very easy to conceal from dipsheits who might take a potshot at them otherwise. The plastic ones usually stow inside themselves and travel in an opaque bag, but if it doesn't come with one you can buy one for it.
