Thread: Ever been shot at? Blaze vs Camo

No incidents in later life,60yr old, but have been shot 4 times ( it fucking hurts too ) and had a deer on my back shot. Blaze whatever wasn’t a thing and wouldn’t have been useful anyway. You can’t avoid dumbf##ks or people who consciously aim at you. I wear blaze/fluoro when required, camo or a combination more often but don’t get obsessive about it. Just remember 8% males (1 in 8) and about 0.4% female population are colour blind so blaze orange won’t help you. Probably a lot more perplexing hunting these days so pays to be weary.

I mean no offence, but how is it that you have been shot 4 times?
Be keen to know more about how it happened if you are willing to share…

You are either really unlucky, or really lucky. I can't decide which
