What is the point of camo clothing?

[ZSteinle]

My hunting clothing mostly happens to be camo. Just because the law says I have to wear orange during general season is no reason for me to abandon my camo clothing and purchase diff non camo clothing for the diff hunting season.

Maybe the more important question is what purpose does wearing orange serve? Last time I looked states that don't have orange regulations don't have a higher incident of accidental shootings. It has been a long time since looked into statistics, but my recollection is that orange areas had higher rates of accidental shootings. I personally have never thought that a guy in camo without any orange looked like a deer or any other game animal.

IMO the orange regulation is useless for it stated purpose. I think it makes it easier for officials or anybody else to find hunters.

Most states have rules that hunters have to wear blaze orange clothing on your torso and head when you're hunting with a rifle.

So, what's the point of buying camo clothing, if it's just going to be covered with a bright orange vest?

Is camo just for bow hunters?

I always wore blaze orange TO and FROM my stand and than slipped off the orange and went totally camo.
