Does wearing orange during hunting season really protect you?

I know it’s made me stop taking a shot when I caught a glimpse of orange behind my target…I doubt I would have seen them without it.
(Full story: deer hunting, had a nice doe at 75 or so yards out, but there was a hunting party on the neighboring land about 1/4 mile behind my target. A high miss could’ve hit them. If they were camo’d? Never would have seen them…)

And to add…
Waited 5-10 minutes for her to move out of the field of fire, and tagged her with a .41 mag.
Does just taste better.

I’m hankering for some rare venison tenderloins that were breathing the same day I ate them…
that is funny and odd, if it wasn't a set up. maybe wildlife management was tracking it for some sort disease study? regardless, it is still pretty funny.Deer Walks Right Into Hunter’s Shooting Lane… Wearing An Orange Hunting Vest?

As long as you identify your target and whats beyond, follow all state/Fed hunting regs, and on permittable land, that deer shouldn't be hard to find

I hunt in seasons where it is required, firearm deer season, and seasons where it is not, archery and muzzleloading. And just from my experience, yes, it does make one more visible to other hunters. If visibility is protection from other hunters, then the answer is it does.
But its not really a panacea. The only thing that truly protects you is the common sense of the person in position to pull the trigger at you.
That, can be a scary thought sometimes.
