I don't see them often here. I had a blast goofing around with those two kits. They were funny. They couldn't quitfigure out what I was. I was wearing a leafy suit. I always manage to see at least one really cool thing every archery season.

No blaze orange law here. When rifle hunting I usually wear some blaze orange but not bowhunting or waterfowl hunting

Squirrels don't seem to mind the orange, but I think they see it. The one that jumped on me avoided the hat that I had taken off and stuck on a limb nearby, but jumped on my rifle barrel.

We are required to wear orange during rifle season. But I rarely rifle hunt big game. Just bunnies, squirrels and varmints.

When packing an animal out I wear a blaze orange hat, and I wrap a blaze orange cheap traffic vest around the animal

I wear a blaze orange hat to my stand, and most of the time take it off and hang it on a limb closeby. I like a tobaggan if it's cold and nothing on my head if its warm.

I think most animals are more concerned with movement than colour

Plus where I hunt there isn't another person within a half-mile most of the time. One way in, one way out.

Only reason I wear orange at all is just in case I met up with a game warden, but I haven't seen any of them in there in the 30 years I've been hunting there.

I think most animals are more concerned with movement than colour  I think so too. And maybe smell. I try to sit downwind of where I expect the deer to be, and if possible I try to have the sun at my back too.  I make ground blinds out of fallen timber and chicken wire and leaves, so movement usually isn't too big an issue.
