Title: Orange/Ground/Recurve=?
Post by: NIGEL01 on November 13, 2013, 07:24:00 PM
Our gun season has been open since Sat. running continously till this Sunday evening.  First two days are crazy and trails off during the week.  Want to try a spot on the ground this Saturday, but I have to wear orange and everything around our little 30 arces is being pounded.  Is it possible?  I know the bucks are still rutting.

The deer won't see the orange or you unless you move while they are looking.

Course it is. It's gun season here, orange mandatory. I still bowhunt. I won't miss the rut no matter what.

We have to wear it also. Well I guess I don't have to but I don't like being shot. Still a chance for that during any gun season, even with orange on.

I think it would be pretty cool accomplishment.  I have yet to shoot an animal on the ground with my traditional equipment, and to do it when everyone around me is toting a rifle would be awesome.  We'll see how it pans out.  Thanks for imput.

My thirteen year old boy just missed a buck two days ago while wearing a full blaze orange coat and only 8 feet up in the treestand.

Darn sapplings got in his arrows path  :(

anyways, the buck never knew he was there and we grunted him in so he was coming in and looking around.

If you wanna blend in a little better contrast wise they make the orange Realtree style or camo pattern vests or jackets
