Following camouflage fashion

funny you mention tents. I have a natural ground blind in the middle of the bush i hunt. It is a very productive spot as long as you know which direction the wind is coming from and only go there with the correct wind. I have a camera set up there. I get many pictures of deer crossing my shooting lane. a week ago all the deer changed their direction which I noticed right away. they were now going up my shooting lane and over my blind, actually knocking it over and crapping in it. well the wind was right for this spot the other day, I go there and now there is a tent about 40yds away put there by the other group that hunts this bush. I is in a good spot but no cover so these guys put up a tent right where the deer on my camera go. I figure that is why the deer have changed there pattern, they are going around the tent.

Interesting observation. So it appears that the new ground blind looks out of place and has caused a shift in deer movement patterns. Looks to me that there is something to be learned here!

The article outlines some important features in the new hunting clothing. Quiet, moisture wicking, breathability, wind and water resistant. Also pointing out that blaze orange fades over time and needs replacement.

I’ve been wearing a green plaid wool coat with orange across the chest and shoulders - Benoit coat (meets the sq inch requirements). Unfortunately the orange has faded and I can’t find a blaze orange dye to bring it back to legal standard. I now have to wear an orange vest over top.

I've been wearing the same blaze orange coat for 35 years and it hasn't faded at all. Unfortunately back then they were extremely thick and I look like George Costanza in his gortex coat picking out a bottle of wine. When it get wet it weighs about 30lbs and I swear it has a burdock magnet in it. Been looking the last couple years at getting something less bulky that's more wind and water resistant but its just so darn warm.

I have seen on YouTube some "modifying" their own Benoit coat(for the very same reason as you mentioned).They do this by tailoring and sowing on the top of the original orange portion ,a cut up run off the mill orange west.

Professionally done( all pocket cutouts as they were , and retaining the "fancy" shape of the old orange)it looks cool.

Of course the regular hunting vest on top works...but:
Considering the durability of Your coat and the moral value of it-it may be a worthwhile expense to get a reputable tailor do the deed for you?
