Jeff- You have to admit that you get a little 'Monkish' on some of the small details. No, you don't have to pick blue tape, but I can almost garantee you that it isn't going to affect you hunting success. But, you can use other colors, I use black. You mentioned bowhunting, I always fletch my arrows with a very bright color and yes I've used blue in the past. Never seemed to be a problem yet. IMO, you are worrying way too much about something that is very minor...

Maybe it's just the Sitka's that are colorblind...
