Thread: Blaze or no Blaze

Reading the hunter being shot thread got me thinking of how many guys wear blaze gear in the roar period?

Do you wear Blaze?
Which colour?
No Blaze?

Possible blue but Def not orange, give a few days in the sun and it turns red- brown, not good

Reflecive strips are good though, have worn my St John yellow vest carrying a deer out before, no idea what I would have said if I met a tramperthough

Gidday works for me. Oh and I have had orange blaze since well before blue blaze was thought of.

Better to stay hidden, Blaze orange draws your attention and unfortunatley at this time of year bad things happen.

only at this time of year due to all the keyboard hunters that come out once a year. I have chosen blue, poor dog is like a red deer though , shoot my dog and you best be a quick runner is all i am saying.

I think something that needs to be look into after being involved in a shooting incident in the last weeks is respecting that if someone else is in the area ya best choose another area or be happy to be told to bugger off.

Thats all i am going to say on this sad day

i voted no blaze, as i dont generally like it. In thick bush i still believe if another hunter saw a tiny part of you, in the right condations, they think you more likely a animal with the tiny bit of blaze they can see other than say green. Theres no green deer, but there are deer with quite orangy coats that blaze could look like. Still, i have blaze, and wear it sometimes as in open bush people can see you far better ,but i always feel that wee bit more nervous when i do so i do generally dont.

I'm all for either full stealth mode .................. or full bling mode.

And not being as bone collector makes the decision to stay at home on the couch this time of year easier.

Be safe people.

I wear blaze a huge amount of new Zealand men are colour blind so blaze orange looks brown

blaze orange top ONLY gets worn out in open now, blue blaze gets the tick from me it sticks out like doggies danglies
hunted for years with mate who like many men is red/green colour blind...eg cant see green shit on red meat,brown rabbit in grass (faaarkin hopeless spotlighting) brown deer,thar in grass took a lot of pointing out so blaze orange was just a lighter shade to him.

I ment blue blaze yep sticks out any were alrigth

I wouldnt go hunting unless I wore Blaze. To many idiot out there now days.

Have never worn Blaze, feel what can't be seen, can't be shot at. Do own a blue blaze top but scared to wear it. Was told a few years ago that high % of shot hunters were " blazed up " in some way. Be safe out there.

I think blaze is great. I think blue stuff is shit. Not hard to see the difference between the two on those MSC/BGHNZ videos that have been going around even though those stoney creek camo vests are bloody terrible, not even close to being proper Hi-Viz blaze.

No blaze for me would rather not draw attention to myself

Blue Blaze : TICK
Orange Blaze : FAIL ... we've proven wearing that makes you look like a fucking deer.

Other than that, CAM to the Max .... they cant see you if you do a good enough job - and you cant shoot what you cant see (although some idiot will prove me wrong)
