Default color/visibility question

I found this hat that i really want cuz i am a firefighter and I think it looks pretty sweet, but i was wondering if the orange on it would affect the way deer/turkey see it or if it is little enough that it wont really matter. Just curious.....thanks.

I use blaze orange fletching and wraps on my arrows. Deer have never seemed to have noticed, not sure why they would notice the hat. You should be good.

That hat won't bother deer one bit.

Looks perfectly camoflaged to me! Of course, I'm colorblind, so take it for what it's worth.

If I remember correct, deer see orange (even blaze orange) in shades of grey, so any amount of orange shouldn't really be a problem at all.
