Default clothing question?

My wife has taken great interest of late in wanting to hunt and photograph wildlife which I must say is exciting! My question is can deer actually see pink or other different colors then camo because naturally she wants some pink camo clothing would it be ok?

As much as we love out camo! I shot my first deer in a pair of carharts and a blue denim shirt! It's the body we are trying to break up. I wish my wife would wear pink camo!! Guess I'm enough Redneck for both of us!!

Pink is fine,
As long as the pattern is broken up, and not 1 solid color,

Yup. Deer are colored blind, you just need to break up your outline so they don get spooked.

Deer are actually less sensitive to pink than to hunter orange. Of course, getting guys to wear "hunter pink" is not going to happen. Deer are color deficient though, not strictly color blind, and the color blue does stand out for them.

Like lots of critters their visual system is set up to pick up movement. So, no matter what you wear, if you're moving, you are likely to be seen.



If you're wearing pink and standing still, you're invisible to us critters
