	Well, I dont know who it was who originally stated that deer
are color blind, in a sense they nearly are, but they do have cones.
They can see that brite floresent orange, exspecialy if their is no
snow on the ground too help make it look less brite.  My personel
favorite is an old style red tweed weave.  I cant remember what its
called but its the dull red with thin black stripes.  I wear a brite
hat and gloves when walking but when sitting I change off to a duller
red or maroone.  I feel that real hunters dont shoot at targets they
cant see, and that someone who cant see me probably isnot going to hit
me.  As for that odd spent shell, well there was nothing you could do
about it anyway.  as long as you make sure that know one in the area
your hunting is happy about getting a couple of sound shots, you safe,
if they are people like that in your area move, or find out where they
intend to hunt and then go elsewhere
