B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Just watched a program on tv, environmental officers wearing cammo clothing, cam cream and night vision goggles to look at tips and the like. What's the need. Also noticed on sky sports a fishing program with the anglers covered every inch in cam. Can somebody enlighten me as to why anglers need to not be seen, surely fish don't care haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BEARINATOR 2,868 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Anglers wear camo so they blend in the background when the water is clear so there shadow doesn't spook the fish The council workers will be wearing it for the people that go mooching on tips and that for stuff of value 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BunnyBolter 16 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 fish can see out of the water , i think its more pratical to wear dull colours rather than a bright green top and white shorts , maybe they just want to be like us hunters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob190364 2,594 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 The thing that always confuses me is when shooters where camo and then put a high vis jacket over the top! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is the american style Rob, although with some foreign shooters on pheasant days I think hi-viz is needed, been lucky myself a few times, there idea of a high enough bird is above foot height Quote Link to post Share on other sites
