Thought they can see uv really well too, i see alot of people using uv blockers on there clothing, is this true

[OutdoorAnswer]

@chefslot --yes this is true, it is part of the light spectrum. Again the idea is to brake up your solid colors how ever you can. UV blockers are a good idea, remember this can also be accomplished by using low phos. laundry detergent. Good luck

@jimd072 Illinois is the exact same way.

Great idea but many states require UNBROKEN orange. Kentucky is one that I am aware of. Hunter Orange must not be broken up according to the regs, but a solid color. Make sure YOUR State or Commonwealth is not similar.

You got that right.

I wear full camo most of the time...however I do wear orange and various other types of gear.

Breaking up any type of fabric you wear can be a crucial part to your hunt.

My Uncle harvested Moose, Elk and Deer for many Decades of hunts with an Fully Orange Fleece top...he would always tell us about Deer vision and that you just have to break your jacket up...with your shell Belt, your binoculars, and your rifle or bow for example...he knew it.
