RE: Do deer see blaze orange?
Recent studies done at the University of Georgia have showed that deer do in fact see colors, BUT it is more towards the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. In other words, they can see purples and blues very well. On the other hand, they can' t see the infrared end of the spectrum very well. This is where you find your oranges and reds. To them orange and red looks like brown/grey, which is what most everything in the woods look like to them. In other words, they can' t tell the difference between orange and brown. They can see solid objects (almost nothing in nature is a solid one-color), however, so if you wear orange, its best to get some type of orange breakup/camoflage.
