I get bored sitting. I have a similar tent, but it never gets used.

I love America... buy expensive camo to make yourself invisible, and then drape yourself in bright orange to make yourself visible. The land of the great ;D

I'm trying to imagine that thing blowing across the Karoo veld like a giant tumbleweed in a strong wind.

Why does orange clothing work so well in the US, but so bad here? What are we missing?

I think we are less concerned about shooting one another than they are. Suspect it's to do with them having an excess of lawyers.

Why do I find this hilarious ?????

How much do jackets prevent shooting accidents, and how much does it affect successful hunting?

It is said, perhaps proven that deer do not see colours as we do, but do see in shades of greys, sepia and greyscales. There is no red, yellow or neon, only lighter, darker in a very functional way.
Human eyes however are very susceptible to colours and can perceive very fine variance in shades of colours.

Reminds me of an EC guide who arrived in Camo, with a bright orange beanie. I rolled my eyes when I saw the beanie. He then took me to a camp that was wall to wall with aloes that were man high, and flowering in bright orange. A perfect colour match. What a genius ;D

This thread reminds me of stories and pics I've seen of farmers in Canada/Canuckistan painting 'cow' and 'don't shoot' on their animals to prevent hunters from shooting them during hunting season.

No white, no shine and blue is a colour that is included in deer sight to some degree. I do not understand how it works, but deer have some colour vision, but its very basic and dull.
Blue is one of the colour deer can pick out, by it being blue or a fancier shade of grey I dunno.

Surely that wasn't done by a farmer. Its a bull, not a cow ::)

I have a set of "blue pajamas" (Zarco) that I hunt with. Works well to hide from animal eyes and makes me visible to all but the colour blind hunters. Should make you easier to spot when you are being searched for due to getting lost or having had a mishap.

Hunting on game farms normally place you in your own area and does not overlap with other hunters. In America it is state land you hunt on with no control over numbers and area selected. I have heard of accidental shootings during the "voorsit" method when hunting kudu and bushbuck in the Eastern Cape.

How dare you question what the cow chooses to identify as. One of HER allies was clearly compassionate enough to assist in expressing HER identity. Some introspection is in order.

On the other hand, according to Treeman, blue and white are complete no-no's when hunting. I had to make a change in wardrobe before I went hunting there as most of my clothes have some sort of blue in them.
