A little background first. I've only hunted once as a late teenager (not counting squirrels/rabbits/birds with a BB gun as a young teen) and it was dove with my best friend and his dad on the dads lease. About all we got was non-game animals.
I'm starting to get into hunting now, just starting as in took the hunter ed class even though I didn't need to based on my age. Anyways...on to my question.
If blaze orange is such a good idea, why does it seem impossible to find blaze orange camo in popular patterns?
I've spent the last hour Googling and all I seem to be able to find is:
A) "fashion" clothes (which look like they would work but aren't built for hunting)
B) older camo patterns
C) only in heavy clothing of either of the above
Seems to me a Realtree/Mossy Oak/etc popular pattern with a blaze orange background would be ideal for hiding from ungulates and being very safe. And can we get them in warm weather appropriate clothes too? Nobody is wearing a parka while hunting here when it's hitting the 70s in early deer season.
