Hunting silently and way out of gun range

[Goosemaster]

And some folks like to wear orange

I had a farmer come out and ask me why he couldn't find me, and I said I was hiding.

I actually was hiding from him in the trees.

If a wild turkey can see color you have to believe a pheasant can as well but how does a bird in any kind of thick ground cover see if you have orange on or not?

They can see through the grass.

That was my exact thought to the post you referred to....not the seeing color part. These bird hear and feel you coming way before you get anywhere near then. They sure don't "see" you in Iowa cover. It makes me laugh seeing fellas dressed head-to-toe in camo to pheasant hunt. Their defense (survival) skills are mostly fly-run-hide. Just because you get close to them, sure doesn't mean they didn't know you were in the field until they flew or because they didn't run.

I wear camo because I don't want people seeing me.Orange is bush league.

I shot two turkeys before that were taking a nap, then I startled them and they woke up, and shot was taken. I agree with you remy on 90% of birds. But there's prolly a few each year a quiet hunter can slip in on and they don't know you're there till it's too late.

I seen Bob crawl up to them with Bowie clenched between his teeth. They never knew what hit them, Rambo style.
