Because while they may not be able to pick up the spectrum, especially in the red which is why a lot of hunting colors are that bright orange, they would still "see" a mass of solid color which wouldn't look natural against the natural background.

You wear the camo to blend into the environment but the orange/yellow/red for other hunters, but not in mass concentration, just enough to be seen.

Also, don't wear blue jeans, Deer, while being lousy with the red spectrum see blue quite well, so wearing blue jeans and a camo jacket is laughable. Bottom line, look like the environment because any solid color, regardless of spectrum is going to stand out.

The Beginner's Guide to Hunting Deer for Food - Jackson Landers
A good intro guide to deer hunting at a reasonable price.

I don't come from a hunting family either. I started when I was 24. I learned some things myself. I learned some from old timers I ran into here and there. I know what's it's like. It seems very daunting.

So what sort of hunting do you want to do?

Deer, small game, waterfowl?

If you're looking to start deer hunting, there's a book The Beginner's Guide to Hunting Deer for Food. This is the book that got me on the road to deer hunting. It's geared toward complete beginners who have no experience hunting or with firearms.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is to take a hunter's education class, whether your state requires it or not. Most states offer them for free. Chat up people in the class. Make some friends. There will be a lot more people in the same boat as you than you think.

Over the last few years, I've come to enjoy small game hunting the most. There's peace and solace walking through the woods, or sitting in a dove field. That's what I go hunting for. That's how I like to spend most of my weekends.

I'm curious to hear the answer. I just enrolled in a Wisconsin DNR class on Learning to Hunt Deer for Food (haven't hunted before). This book made a believer out of a locavore urbanite like myself. Seems like redditors should be a good community to help each other out with local food exchange.
