Haven't there been a few studies in the USA which found no difference in the number of accidental shootings of hunters wearing blaze or not?

I think I read that they did a study and found it even with people who got shot. It didn't matter what they were wearing, people just shot at colour or movement.

Personally I wear a camo jacket when hunting, cause the way I see it, I would rather someone shoot at movement rather than shooting at a colour in the scrub. If they shoot at movement, then they may miss. But either way, not good hunting in an area with other people. I think your just asking for trouble. The times I have split with hunters, we have hunted different gullys or valleys and never broke over the ridge regardless of reason. And we exited the same way we went in.
