Bear and color
« on: October 20, 2019, 03:13:21 AM »
Do bear see color?
Specifically, would a red color stand out amongst green and brown vegetation?

Great motion detection, great night vision, and can see colors.  I wear black in my blinds when I hunt them, or gray against trees.

That's good to know. I always thought bears saw pretty much like deer.

Being predators by nature, they dont seem to be as “on their game” as deer are but they sure can be.

The bear in my avatar was shot at 7 yards, I had a bright orange vest on and he looked right at me 4 times before I shot him. He knew I was there right from the start and never seemed to care! I never moved till he started leave, then it was to late for him!!!
