some color blindness

[Ryanelson]

I went to Africa last year and as I have always known I have some color deficiencies. When I am whitetail hunting I hunt a lot in fields so I have never had an issue like I did there. My number 1 animal was a Kudu. I could not see them in the cover. I felt like an idiot. The PH would say its right there and I couldn't make it out until it moved. The question I am asking goes to the year 26 when I am going back and would love to do a Cape Buffalo. I am really concerned that I will get in the thick stuff and wont be able to make it out. Even on videos I watch I struggle when they tell the clients to shoot I am like shoot what? Any suggestions on glasses or any other helpful tips.

I don't know if you have ever heard of Enchroma glasses but if I were you I would check them out.

Kudu are tough for anyone to see in the bush. Their natural camouflage works well.

Pick a color you can see and have someone point it at the target of choice.

My GS is color blind, with the red & green spectrums severely affected. A pair of these has helped him considerably. To give you an idea, my son bought a set of blaze orange self-healing targets for the 22. At 15 yards, my GS could not differentiate the prairie dog from the dried grass until he just looked for the shape. With the glasses, he can see the same color much more readily. Definitely worth test driving a set to see if they help.
