I got this for the bush as I'm much more successful fishing than deer hunting - and because the Mrs dislikes it.... so, I kind of had to get it for around the house!

Stand out and stay safe this Roar! ��

Let's gear up with some tips to ensure you have a safe hunting experience.

1️⃣ Rock the blaze: Deer don’t care what colour you’re wearing. Remember, the aim is to be obvious to other hunters.
2️⃣ 360-degree visibility: Don't rely on a single small hi-vis item. Consider how you appear from every angle, as terrain and lighting conditions can obscure your visibility.
3️⃣ Terrain matters: In thick bush, cover a larger area of your body with hi-vis gear. In open country, you can go with less coverage. Adapt to your surroundings.
4️⃣ Low-light situations: Early mornings or late evenings require extra precaution. Wear colours that stand out from the background and differ from game animals in your area. Be seen when it matters most!
5️⃣ Transporting game: If you're carrying an animal through the bush, consider placing a hi-vis item over it.
6️⃣ Check your gear: Hi-vis items fade over time, so replace them when they lose their bright colours. Faded orange blaze gear can be mistaken for deer hide – let's avoid any confusion.

Plan safe, act safe, stay safe.

I wouldn't read too much into that, the arms code in 1996 had similar suggestions, although it didn't go into quite as much specifics.
