You guys will probably think I smoked something, but I have changed my mind. Blaze orange is hideous.

Blaze orange is intentionally unnatural, attention getting, and obnoxious.

Think about this from an art philosophy standpoint. Visual perceptions are linked to our capacity for pleasure so it is probable that blaze orange can negatively affect the hunting experience of some personality types. Individual sensitivity to ugliness varies greatly. Therefore, the degree of blaze oranges aesthetic offense is subjective.

It makes perfect sense that some folks think it is a good idea and others cant stand it. Individual results will vary. If orange makes you feel safer, wear it with pride. If it offends your senses or diminishes your enjoyment, then avoid it.

Blaze orange is ugly by design. Ugly things should be avoided in life.
