Orange vest can a hog see orange

[Henry54]

I was wondering can a hog see the color orange.

Pigs have dichromatic vision, they can see some colors but not all and are thought to have trouble seeing colors in specific spectrums. They, along with most other animals have fewer cone cells than humans. The majority of animals that fall into this category are thought to have the ability to see blue, green, and yellow but have trouble seeing red and orange.

Hogs have poor vision compared to other big game animals in general. I've had wild hogs completely oblivious to my presence at less than 20 yards but have also sent a few running for the hills at over 100 yards. They can pick up movement very well but have trouble if you remain completely still.

If you're careful it's possible to stalk hogs in the wide open to a certain extent. If they smell you it's all over!

Some animals such as birds (turkeys) for example have the ability to see more colors than humans. At least they can't wind you!

I share similar experiences with Andy; as long as you pay attention to the wind and their behaviour you can work in really tight, like a matter of feet. We are required to wear orange on base now, but we are using the mottled orange that at least breaks up the solid field of orange. Birds sure don't like it though.

You have to wear it duck hunting now too.....good luck killing any ducks.

+1. 27 yds is my personal best, as 410 can confirm. And that was standing upright, without cover. With hogs, noise, wind and movement much more important than what your wearing.

Mottled? Where'd you get that stuff?

I stalked past two hogs at 10ft. Hogs didn't know I was there, and I didn't know hogs had moved 10ft to my right. Damn XD 5ft behind me cast a stone on my head. I turned around and saw XD locked and loaded on the hog. I scanned my eyes around for the bigger hog while XD's boomstick roared and smaller hog down. Bigger hog left dust trails rising up on top of thick brush down hill.

I also stalked a group to about 15 yards. I was standing in the middle of the trail when I shot at one hog. The rest of the hog stampede down my way on the trail. My semi-auto action jammed and I had to kick the first hog with my boot to steer the rest of the herd downhill. I was wearing an orange vest.

You are exempt from orange in archery areas and the river.

I think it was Cabelas. Here's an example. I've got a light vest, a heavy vest and a hat.

Was that your 6.8 that jammed or some other auto? A properly broke in AR15 is dependable enough that our troops bet their life on it daily. It it was your 6.8 you might just need to run a few more rounds through it to smooth things out.

Take care,

Nice Deer....and the vest is nice too.

That's the one hanging on my living room wall.

You know; I forgot to give that skull to Chuck for him to take to his beetle guy. I need to find someone to send that to.

They're in the northern part of Phoenix, Chuck just dropped my skull off on the way home.

You could freeze it and overnight it? They did pretty good work and were reasonably priced. Most of the folks I contacted were either out of business or not accepting work. I couldn't find anyone in CA at all.

This was way before the 6.8. I was shooting a Remington 7400 on a that trip.

I read w/deer that the biggest thing you hafta watch out for is blue jeans and UV's.
I don't know if this is apples to apples but what I've read and been told.
That said my dad killed tbe biggest buck hes shot (or that I have ever seen for that matter) while wearing blue jeans, I'm guessing the UV's must be something to the effect of looking at that stupid kid from the twilight movies (I hate that I can say that, I'm so disappointed in my self) but yeah I have the full on jacket version of 410's vest and I followed a doe around for a good while I day a few years back hopping a suitor would come a calling and she didn't seem to notice.

And on a side note DFG_Bear I like the new avatar.

 

[bohunter3]

I guess we should wear white then. Maybe they wouldnt notice a hunter as much

 

[DuckFever]

Not to nitpick, but the M16A4 is what the troops use (at least us Marines) and the AR15 is the civilian version of the A4.
