Here's why:
* Deer have excellent vision: While they are colorblind to reds and greens, they are very sensitive to contrasts, making black stand out strongly against natural backgrounds.
* Black attracts attention: Deer will easily spot you in black clothing, especially in open areas or against a backdrop of trees and bushes.
* Safety hazard: Wearing black increases the risk of being mistaken for another hunter, especially in low-light conditions.
Instead of black, choose camouflage clothing that blends in with your surroundings. This will help you stay undetected and increase your chances of a successful hunt.
Remember: Hunter safety is paramount. Always be aware of your surroundings and wear appropriate clothing to minimize the risk of accidents.
