I thought turkeys were not colorblind?

I was in some hardwoods the other day wearing an orange vest. I was just standing there and turned around to see a jake coming up on me. He passed me roughly 30 yds away and acted like he didn't know I was in the world. Don't know how he could have missed me.

They can see colors well. He just didn't perceive you as a threat is probably what happened. Also hasn't sat through a hunting season yet.

I’ve had probably 10-12 withing 30ft of me before deer hunting from the ground and wearing hunter orange. Never paid me any attention but I wasn’t moving either other than to record it on my phone.

I need a couple two year olds to act like that for me in the spring...

They’re pretty careless around people in the fall

Jakes are pretty dumb anyways.

they have observed Smells shooting AT deer and know he is no threat to them....

Come spring they turn into evil eyes

They don't miss a thing. They noticed the orange vest and knew you were deer hunting. And I promise, they can take 1 look and tell if you have a shotgun or a rifle.
