Wearing black while sheep hunting

[Sneaker]

The 3 black bears I saw on my dall hunt all stuck out like a sore thumb. So easy to see compared to anything else. We watched one crest over a hill into the site of three rams and they saw that thing and turned and ran for like 2 miles without stopping. I don’t think there are any down sides to looking more like the color of rocks, dirt or vegetation than a black blob.

Just a nice deal on an awesome down coat. But I’m not buying

Interesting…what kind of paint could be used on a down jacket that won’t flake off or cause issue?

I watched three stone sheep this year blow off a mountain (one was a shooter too) because of a single wolverine which was walking 300 yards away. They ran up and over never to be seen by us again. I've been sheep hunting three times for a total of 50 days and based on my limited experience, I'd say the answer is yes, it does have an affect. I would personally try to avoid black or dark brown.
