Totally agree Tentman. As I said in my earlier post - complacency is a dangerous thing. We all need to be aware that it has happened to other very experienced hunters, and it can happen to any one of us. I get fully blazed up these days, and recent magazine articles appear to show that I am more concealed from deer in my blaze orange, than someone else in brown/green camo gear. I also believe that just an orange beanie is not enough, and in low light, could be seen as a bit of light shining on a red's summer coat.
Some mates think that the blaze clothing is perpetrated by retailers, but I'm willing to glow in the dark to save my arse. I'm not a good enough bush stalker anyway - so if you see an orange glow overlooking a slip - don't shoot!
