Abstract:
A recent study, sponsored by the National Rifle Association, discovered that elk can distinguish safety orange from other colors and may have better color perception than biologists previously thought. Despite this discovery, the chances of success are not diminished for skilled outdoorsmen. The orange vests do diminish a hunter’s chances of being mistaken for an elk.

Abstract:
Several states have passed laws requiring the u se of hunger orange given the indications that its use in field clothes has had a tremendous effect on the safety record in hunting. Although North Carolina does not required the use of hunter orange, except in military installations, it is strongly recommended for upland and big game hunters by management officials.
