Guess what color a whitetails tail is? Your right it is white. I would not take anything out in the woods that is white. I know we don't like to admit it' but there's an awful lot of hunters out there that don't have enough sense to carry a weapon. I would hate to get stuck by an arrow just because Billybob seen my white arrows while I was walking to my stand and just knew I was adeer and so he let's lose with a 60 yard shot. It probably would never happen but why take the chance. I also don't take black or red when I'm turkey hunting.
