Why do people wear bright orange while hunting?

  • Anonymous Aug 21, 2013

    So the other hunters who don't know how to hunt properly won't shoot you by mistake.

Here are some reasons for dat:
Deer and Other Game Animals Don't See Hunter Orange camouflage pants:
Deer do not have red-sensitive cone cells in their eyes, and can't tell red or orange from green and brown.
Deer have different sensitivity to various wavelengths of light than humans. Deer see short wavelength colors such as blue (and even ultra-violet, which humans cannot even see) brighter than humans do, but deer are less sensitive to longer wavelengths such as orange and red, so these colors look darker to deer.
Wearing Hunter Orange Saves Lives
Hunter orange camouflage pants prevents other hunters from mistaking a person for an animal, or shooting in your direction.
Hunters who wear hunter orange are seven times less likely to be shot. For example, during the past ten years, not one person who was wearing hunter orange was mistaken for game and killed in New York. On the contrary, big game hunters who were involved in firearm related incidents were not wearing hunter orange.

I used to wonder this myself! It's so that the hunters can be spotted by other hunters because apparently it's pretty common to confuse camouflaged people with whatever you are hunting.

Hunters wear bright orange in order to be easily spotted by other hunters and people. If you get lost in a forest it's easier to find something orange on a green background all over around. And other hunters will recognise in you a person because there are no bright orange animals. There are lots of tricks that hunters use. You can find out more here http://huntingfishingplus.com/.

I know this is an old post but just wanted to add carry a big honking flashlight. Nothing worse then seeing two rookies in a pickup truck at the far end of the field looking through their scopes to see if the distant spot is a deer.... Your barrel is pointed where your scope is buy a pair of binoculars or I'm gonna start borrowing your best wrenches and use em for hammering and prying.

Hunting is one of the safest ways to enjoy outdoors. Most of the hunter wear bright orange because it enhances safe hunting. A research says that hunter who doesn't wear orange blazer are more at risk. As I am also interested in deer hunting, I would suggest you to hunt deer with the help of feeder because this is the best ways of hunting. If you want to know the process of deer hunting with the help of feeder then I would suggest you to just take a look at Best Deer Feeder, Here you will know the hunting tips free of cost. On the above-mentioned link, you will also know the buying guide, which will help you to purchase the best feeder for deer.

Just got a sled5016a tv. Remote will not access tv picture controls. skips brightness,contrast ,color ,tint and sharpness. Up and down arrows only jump from picture mode to bottom of menu.

Hello Chris,

I tried to pull up the manual to see if you need to hit "enter" or "OK"... (procedural issue.. rather than a warranty)

If you still have the manual... Give it a quick read
because the alternative is your MAIN-BOARD.

Check out shopjimmy.com for available parts

and NEVER-EVER touch any circuit board you care about
without wearing an ANTI-STATIC WRIST BAND.

Happy hunting!

Can anyone recommend a good, quiete pair of boots to wear hunting?

I would suggest that you wear any sort of sturdy hiking boot. You want something with ankle support and maybe something waterproof . I don't believe that one type of boot would be "quieter" than another. It all really depends on how you take your steps.

Fogged up

What is happening is, when the scoped hunting firearm is stored inside the night before the hunt and its warm inside the house and when you go outside in the cold, the scope fogs up. Much like someone who wears glasses, when they are inside a warm house and they go out in the cold, their glasses fog up. The way to prevent this is to store the gun outside the night before the hunt where it's still secured but cool like the outside. Lock it in the trunk of your car or a locked tool box in your truck. In this way, the scoped hunting firearm will be about the same temperature as the cool outside air and it will not fog.

CanonI9900 will not print correct colors

The 9900 is a great printer, some parts wear out tho, There's a membrane in the printhead that goes out allowing cross contamination of the inks. You would need to replace the printhead, sometimes also the hoses can come off of the clean and purge assembly so that the printhead is not primed properly. That would be a shop repair. You should let a shop check it out for you, could save money and time...
