    I was in a search and rescue a few years back now and one of our team had the blaze orange tee shirt on and I kid you not,the other members couldn't see him in the bush below us even while he was yelling "i'm down here!"
    Thats why i shared lethels picture. Sun up or sun down blaze blends in!! Keep safe hunters!!

    Apparently deer can see blue/purple very well?

    I use the a blase hat when I'm hunting with other people as do my friends. we have found its enough to let us keep track of each other.
    We intend to make a blase orange vest compulsory when hunting on the farm/forest once it's safe to reopen it.

    Even little James has his fluro jacket as you can see from my avatar.

    I've been thinking long and hard about this one and we are flogging a dead horse , I'm thinking and yes there a flaws but hear this out . Modern tec now , why can't there be a compatable fabric with say optics . A bit like the polorised sunnys , but when you look through the scope it reacts with it , ie glows or reflects . Not a quick solution but not out of the question. Open sights well your F#%ked sorry to say . Thoughts anyone ? .

    FYI, flicked on to this yesterday... good to see a company actively looking at ways to reduce hunting accidents. Along way to go, but its a start.

    New Zealand business start-up Hunter Safety Lab is working with Industrial Research Limited to develop technology to reduce hunting accidents. CEO Michael Scott talks about the value of this research and development partnership.

    At least it will keep the female hunters away!
    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    You're barking up the wrong tree there Coaster, no doubt Dundee will be sending you a PM shortly requesting pics though!
