Default Can Yotes see color?

Some of you may have seen my other post but here is a question I have. I shot two yotes that came within about 25 or 30 yards of my deerstand. I had my hunter orange on and they never saw me. I hear alot about wearing camo while hunting yotes so why did they not see the orange? So can they see color?

They are color blind. The most important thing to not let them see is 1)movement, 2)human outline. I know guys that call with no camo on and have success. I personnally wear camo head to toe, because it allows me to blend into my surrounds better allowing me to sit infront of a bush, dirt bank, or tree, etc. I also like to bring them in close and pick my shots, where as with out camo, you're shots will need to be taken at a further distance because the closer they get to you, the more likely they are to pick you out.

if you take a black & white photo of blaze orange you will see that its a light gray in color.put that against the light gray(in black & white) of the sky and you will actualy blend in very well.now take that light gray and put it on the ground against a dark almost black tree and you will stick out like a sore thumb.even then if you were motionless they would most likely not spook.move the slightest little bit and they would pick the movement and be gone in a flash.turkey are not color blind and blaze orange thats not moving will not bother them.like howler said its all in the movment,regardless of what your wearing to much movment and any and all wild life will pick you and be gone.

Ditto! They are color blind but will pick up movement in an instant
