Yes, thanks for your input guys. I'll invest in a blaze vest and maybe look at adding some contrast to it. I'll let you know how I go, deer tend to be fairly sparse this close to Melbourne but maybe I'll come across something.

HUNTEC and STONEY CREEK both make cool blaze orange camo with twiggy branches and leaves on it stands out like the proverbial.

Make sure whichever State you're hunting in allows it - I'm pretty sure Colorado doesn't.

In Ontario for big game with rifles, shotguns and muzzle leaders you MUST wear a solid Blaze Orange vest and hat totaling to 400 sq ft.

My experience is that around where I hunt the orange just makes you a target for poor hunters. They don't shoot what they don't see or hear. I had a friend that lost a milk cow because he put a blaze orange blanket on its back. There was also a ranger who had his horse shot out from under him - lots of blaze orange there too.

A friend of mine was riding a horse and leading a pack horse while hunting in the mountains of Colorado when he had his pack horse shot dead by another hunter in the area. That's scary. I don't like the idea of someone fixing crosshairs on me. Had enough of that in VietNam.

Hey Vince,
Come on down to NSW and with your 'R' license it is a requirement to wear orange blaze while hunting in State Forests.
I wear something blaze orange all the time when I go out now.
