Orange is a must as far as I'm concerned, camo hides you from people as well as ducks & turkeys.

You can read it for yourself right here: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/sportsed/hrsiflyer2002.pdfWearing Hunter Orange Saves Lives! From 1994 through 2003 four out of five deer hunters wore hunter orange. Not even one who wore hunter orange was mistaken for game and killed. But fifteen hunters who did not wear orange were killed when mistaken for game.
No way! Why you might ask? I once saw some bozo deer hunting in a brown "carhart" jacket wearing a white hat! He was walking across an open field toward me and all I could see was the brown jacket and every so often a flicker of white! Now, to a inexperienced hunter or some trigger happy moron this guy, from a distance, could have been mistaken for a deer because I looked real hard at first before I realized it was a man. I waited for this guy to approach me and asked him if he was nuts or just plain suicidal. His answer was that he lived in the area and had been hunting there all his life! (Whatever that's got to do with it!) I told him he looked just like a deer walking threw the field but he didn't seem to care.I do think that hunting "accidents" should be vigorously prosecuted as crimes !
Well for turkey you wear camo and for ducks and goose you usually hunt from a blind because you don't want to be seen. Grouse usually wait until the last minute to flush and for pheasant I hunted with a dog so the hunter orange does not make one bit of difference in my opinion.What about the orange with birds?
