That's what the fellow told us when we came across him in the Stae 
Gamelands near Allentown, PA.  He was on a hillside with a scope and all 
he could see over the fence row were our two white Troxel helmuts bobbing 
up and down.  Apparently looked like deer tails!  That's disconcerting!  
I always thought that the white helmuts would give us some extra 
visibility--but not that kind!  I'm considering putting a couple strips 
of reflecting tape on the helmuts.  
I use day-glo orange tack (bridle & breastplate, fanny pack) on the horse 
whenever riding in the gamelands and will often use an orange safety 
vest.  And not just during hunting season--though goodness knows, they're 
always hunting something, sometime in PA.
Any other suggestions for improving your visibility?
