Many of the cruise-friendly Caribbean countries have camouflage as their military uniform and so it’s illegal to wear it in these countries.

    Dude… just once, try actually going into The Forest without being strapped like you are storming Fallujah. Deer will gladly walk along trails and it is not at all uncommon to have to yell at your belayer to pay attention because they got distracted by Bambi walking around. Or spend some time in a town that borders a wooded area and you’ll see plenty of deer just wandering around backyards or slowly walking through the streets.

    Similarly, as a youth I was dragged along on a few hunting trips back in the day where you just dressed for the weather rather than figuring out what military you want to cosplay as. And it was NEVER hard to find a deer. That is WHY so many counties/regions have license requirements and point systems. Hell, a memory that is forever burned into my skull because of how fucked and hysterical it was is my ex’s father gutting the deer he just shot while two others walk up to us and just chill.

    Understand that the vast majority of modern day hunters are those two guys from (ugh) South Park and are constantly making up excuses and self aggrandizing themselves. They think they are going to war and are all super hardcore snipers and would wear ghillie suits if (pretend I know another tacticool brand than 5.11) sold them at the mall. And understand that much of the world has a long time dependency on hunting for survival. And I am pretty sure the cowboys who made bison all but extinct weren’t all dying their clothes multiple shades of brown and painting their faces every time they were hungry.

      Great job reading the comment you replied to instead of just continuing your uninformed rant.

      Five stars!

        I have, and yes, they do come right up to you if they think you’re going to feed 'em. I’ve encountered deer at the hardware store, which involves people driving monster trucks with trailers, forklifts loading and unloading wood, and so on, and the deer don’t even care.

      Bro what is the purpose of this confidently incorrect diatribe you’ve been on? It just seems like you have some sort of superiority complex and it is readily apparent that you are coming into this from a place of bare ignorance. No, deer cannot see blaze orange. Yes, it comes in multiple patterns of camo in addition to solid. People wear either, both, or none depending on what they’re hunting and what the laws are locally. You’re not going to call a turkey into shotgun range wearing that shit. I mean, anything is possible but it would be far more difficult.

      Is it strictly necessary to wear camouflage to harvest an animal? No. But it will improve your chances profoundly. And the assertion that hunters didn’t wear camouflage in the US until after GWOT is just so…bizarre. Mossy Oak has been around since the 80s; maybe you should blame all of this on the invasion of Grenada. Makes about as much sense. No one’s dressing up like an operator and cosplaying convoy security in Kandahar to go hunt, man. They’re putting their clothes on, going into the woods with equipment that does the job, and going home to make some fried backstrap and gravy or roast a turkey. Most of us do this shit to eat.

      I get it, a lot of southerners are pieces of shit and their bloodlines should have been cut short long ago, and hunting is a culturally significant activity for that demographic, so it must be beneath you. But please don’t just make shit up just for the hell of it. Or if you do, make it more fun to read. I’m not even sure what point you’ve been trying to make this whole time.
