Blaze orange gear is required in most states during deer hunting season to prevent hunting accidents. This works out okay because deer are colorblind and do not notice the orange clothing. Other types of hunting either do not require blaze orange (like turkey hunting) or are the type of hunting when the animals seeing you in advance doesn’t really matter (like pheasant hunting).
