[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2635747, member: 114151"] A few notes I don’t think have been covered. My understanding is the light/visual spectrum for some animals orange shows as gray. Can’t substantiate this…. But that’s what they tell us in CO. It’s not to difficult to break up your silhouette. Sit behind a bush, behind branches in a tree, etc, the human figure can be disguised even with orange. Depending on where you hunt in CO, game can be used to human presence. If you see one from the road and jump out of a truck, they run. If you come across something hiking, they don’t spook quite as easily if they don’t smell you. There are so many hikers and bicycle trails some places, they would just let you walk by if you don’t seem to be a threat. The last point was mentioned multiple time. Be safe. Some areas are crawling with hunters and I wouldn’t risk it, hiking in, out, or otherwise. The only time I may not have orange in rifle season is at camp, but even there my orange hat is normally on. If I go in the woods from camp for a crap, I wear my orange hat. Other people seem to materialize out of nowhere at times even if they are wearing orange. Getting stalked by another hunter happens, but even though I expect it, it’s uneasy. Heck, I have come in on walking sounds only to find a hunter. [/QUOTE]
