Thread: Not again!

Tragic. I could guarantee nothing is as simple as it seems though. The mind can play aweful tricks on anyone. Perhaps making a certain % of blaze clothing compulsory during the roar period on public land as part of your hunting permit would lower the rates of accidents. Who knows.

As a side note, I was digusted to see Josh James recent video giving people a safety talk before the roar where he admits lining up his mate because he heard a noise and also shot a rock he thought was a deer. That guy is fucking dangerous. The way he gets so rattled and jittery when they see an animal is the thing that gets people killed.

Like inthe US where you get a tag for certian species, certain breed, certain age, certian sex..... have to make sure of at least those 4 things before taking the shot

Don't know what the latest figures are for hunters being shot while wearing " Blaze" but a few years ago they were quite high, even though this was kept out of the public arena.

From memory the American stats I saw a couple of years ago said blaze made no meaningful difference to the risk of being shot. Good for helping SAR find injured people though I guess.

I don't know if this incident involved the victim wearing blaze orange or not, but in my opinion it's dangerous in the bush. I won't wear it. Blue on other hand sticks out like dogs balls and cannot be mistaken.
