Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?

Game such as Deer, Boar, Turkey, etc.Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?
No most game are colorblind and can't tell what your wearing. Although, scientists have proven that deer can see blue very well and if your a wearing blue while hunting you will stick out like a sore thumb and the deer with most likely get spooked on first sight of you. Good luck hunting!Can wild game spot you when your wearing bright orange while hunting?
Color is irrelevent when hunting. What gets animals suspicious is movement, particularly sudden movement.





The reason it's not a good idea to not smoke while hunting, for instance, isn't because the smoke spooks them. It's the flashing movement of your hand rising and falling to and from your mouth.





Although deer are, supposedly, color blind, turkey are not. Color, in fact, plays an important role in their courtship.





If you are sitting still, however, despite what you are wearing, game animals can, and do, walk right up to you without realizing you are a threat.





So, considering that the effect on game is null, and the high safety factor of wearing orange, only a fool foregoes it.
Yes, they can. They can also spot you if you're wearing camo.


Turkeys have excellent vision. Deer less so, and they're colorblind, though a solid orange vest is still a solid blob of one shade. Hogs can see probably about as well as you can, but they spend so much time rooting you have an advantage, assuming you don't also have your nose in the ground!
Although there is no certainty about this, there seems to be a lot of evidence that they are as a matter of fact, color blind. I have hunted squirrels and other small games while wearing red shirts and other intense colors and shot just as many as my hunting friends who wore full camouflaged clothing. I can't say anything about wild games but there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.





For a couple of times, I stood out in an open area while wearing an orange vest and had whitetail deer flush out of the woods and run past me. The mammals seem to rely on hearing and their sense of smell in order to detect danger more than eyesight. They are very quick to spot your movements though.





Hope this helps.
Deer see in shades of grey. That is not to say that they see color the way we do, but they see color.





If you hunt enough, you will see that Deer often eat red Berries. I have watched deer walk across large fields to feed on berries. How do they see the red berries. And who is to say that what we see is all the color there is. How would anyone really know if Deer see orange.





I know that if you wash your clothes in Commercial laundry soap, deer can see the Ultra Violet rays that are reflected by the moon and the stars.





We use night vision technology to pick up UV light in night vision goggles. Deer have that capability from birth. Maybe they think we are color blind.





The point I am making is that Deer do see color, just not the way we see them. I have been spotted while wearing orange from 50 meters away, yet this year, I passed up 3 small buck, and a Doe with my Bow, so I could shoot the 8 point at the end of the line of deer. I hunt in camo with the Bow.





As far as Turkey are concerned, they have awesome vision, and can see the slightest of movement as well as color.





No doubt, Deer see orange. They see it, and recognize it as being alien to their enviroment. But I wear it, and I hope the hunter 100 meters away sees it too before he begins to fire at a deer between us.
Deer are color-blind and should not be able to pick out the color. I've deer-hunted in bright red coveralls and the deer didn't notice me. I understand that boar and turkey have very keen eyesight and (presumably) can distingush colors. So hunting these is where camo would give you an edge.

I know at least deer are color blind, so you will only be spotted by other hunters; unless you want to end up like Cheney's friend, I'd use it, since a deer wouldn't see you easier than if you had on camo, and other hunters would.
Deer are colorblind. When they see orange, it looks like white. So with the orange camo, you could look like a birch tree. I don't know about boar, but turkey can see if you have one nostril bigger than the other.
Who cares? I want the other guy in the woods with a gun to SEE ME. Of course animals can see bright orange, but so what, they don't know what its for. By the way, a turkey has extremely good eyesight.
Yeah by wearing orange it lowers your chances of not being seen but when you wear orange you can be sure that your not gonna be mistaken for a Deer, Turkey, or Boar when your hunting
Most can't distinguish orange from drab colors like brown. There are some animals that can though, I believe bears are one of them.
most animals can only see green and blue, so they can';t see orange cause they don't have the right parts in their eyes like we do, that's why.
Some animals are colorblind, so they won't know what color you're wearing. For the ones that can see color.... I'll go with yes.
your all morons and science is wrong! all animals see color !!!!end confersation...figure it out!
no
