Re: [RC] Hunting Season Colors - desertrydr1I wear a fluorexcent yellow vest. It's lightweight, big enough to fit over outer clothing, and visible in our desert for MILES. It kinda dependson what background you're trying NOT to blend into. jeri-----Original Message----- From: victoria thompson <vascthompson@xxxxxxx> To: Ridecamp Correspondence Correspondence <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 3:04 pm Subject: [RC] Hunting Season Colors Ladies (and Gents for that matter),
Speaking as someone who has hunted and is married to a hunter, please, please, please wear something that is BLAZE ORANGE. Red and yellow and plain orange are the colors the trees turn during hunting season and you blend in with the surrounding leaves in those colors. BLAZE ORANGE has been found to be the most effective (affective?) color because it is easily distinguished amongst the foliage and cannot be confused with anything Mother Nature makes herself. Continue to wear your red and yellow, but run down to your local sporting goods store and pick up a light weight BLAZE ORANGE vest to put on overtop of your pretty T-shirts. It really does work (speaking from experience) and with all the nut cases out there these days that will shoot first and then go see what they were shooting at, it won't hurt to play it safe. Off my soapbox. Tori =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
