Bow hunters don't need to use blaze orange. How does that make sense? The ML season is right in the middle of archery season. We have to wear orange, and they don't, and we're both hunting the same areas for the same game. I don't get it?
Amen to that...it's the same in VA. The problem is not the blaze orange, is the blob of solid color that will tip an animal off. The break up pattern on the orange does NOT make you less visible to other hunters. Blaze orange is blaze orange. Tree branches on it aren't going to make the blaze color less visible to another hunter. If it does than they should outlaw hiding behind brush.
For the purposes of hiding from deer, I'd rather wear a whole suit of this stuff than Realtree or Mossy Oak and no blaze orange.
