Try orange rump rugs (if cold) or orange mesh quarter sheets (if it is
hot.) It helps some. I would consider a helmet cover in WILD
colors, too if I couldn't find one in orange. (We carry the orange
mesh as a turn out sheet.)
White gloves are a NO NO (as if I could keep them clean.) A woman
wearing white gloves was mistaken & shot for a deer while hanging laundry
in the NE several years ago in her backyard (suburban). The hunter was
released from manslaughter charges by the judge (who was also a
hunter). Go figure!
Good luck!
