Have you found a certain fletch color that is bright enough for good visibility that doesn't seem to spook deer?

What is it?

I've always used red and grey. Red because deer can't see red so it appears grey to them (based on what I read a long time ago).

I'm getting ready to order some fletching and I want to use True Flights new "traditional barred" color, sort of bronzish and black, and want to put a feather tracer behind the fletch. I'm wanting to choose a color for the tracer that will give me high visibility but not spook deer if they happen to catch me moving. I was thinking red, but in low light it's really not highly visible. I was then thinking yellow, since supposedly a great deal of the deers world is seen as shades of yellow.

Any ideas?

Hot pink. Not very macho, but it's not supposed to be very visible to deer while I can see it really well. But since it's not macho, I generally use white and cover the fletches in my quiver with a camo fletching cover.

I have heard that deer, while technically colorblind, my be able to distinguish blue to some extent. I like your scarlet and gray combo - you can be an honorary Buckeye.

I like white and never really worry about it....... I've never had a deer spook b/c it saw my arrows..... Plus, have you ever seen blood on a white feather? It's spectacular!!!

I'm currently using two green and one highlighter green , the brighter green is easy to find and you can see it in flight.

I've always liked yellow, even though they can be hard to pick out in a forest floor full of freshly fallen fall foliage, because I see them very well in dim light. Last year I added a blue cock feather for contrast & have been very happy w/the results.

I like yellow, chartruese, or pink because these are the colors that I can see best. Movement is what will get you busted.
