No Dougie, Davey's wearing blaze over buff. Must have been a cold day. When with others I wear a blaze vest, when by myself no blaze I have never given that much thought so don't really know why. My preference is not to wear it.
I feel blaze is like a beacon! or lead magnet.
Dress like a deer I'ts obvious these clowns don't no what one looks like , may be safer.
The pic of me and the boy in our yellow hivis was at a place that on two occations I have had a rifle pointed at me (while not wearing blaze or hi vis). It was a nice place for a walk and I took the other half there for his first day trek experience (when the photos were taken). I don't think I'd ever go back there again unfortunately just because of the idiots that I encountered on those two other trips. The first time ended up in my tramping partner's brand new tent getting shotgun fire through the vestibule as some muppets rocked up in their hilux at night and took a shot at a possum near us......'us' being 35 kids on their first outdoor experience and the four instructors.
Anyway we kitted ourselves out in the cycle gear to hopefully give a big f-off impression that we were people and not to be shot at. We didn't see anyone else that day anyway.
I have new new NZHS beanie but previously just wore a wooly brown/grey one. I have only the one blaze cambo bush shirt that usually only comes out when it is cold. I think I might invest in a light shirt in blaze though.
Interesting how deer can see blue/purple? I'm a noob when it comes to them anyway but I guess that's something to keep in mind.
This might do it for you Baldbob

*turns laptop to hubby*
"Hermm." Promptly goes back to his online game of poker.
lol I don't think I' getting one for my birthday! :D
Exactly right.
There is no doubt that clean Blaze Orange stands out and is one of the easiest colours to to see in most light conditions.
Does that aid in identifying your target, i.e. distinguish person from deer? Maybe.
Will it make you less likely to be shot, in circumstances of target misidentification? No definitive evidence for or against, in NZ bush conditions, as yet.
Reference: Green, J. & Boyes, M.A. (2006). Deer hunting in New Zealand: Safety lessons from the field. New Zealand Journal of Outdoor Education, 1(6) 34-49. (This paper has been reprinted in booklet format by the NZ Police for issuing to firearms users).
I am going to ask for permission to have a copy of this article posted in this section as a resource. I don't think there will be an issue, but just want to check with the author first.
I read the article about the 80%. The 80% statistic is not a relevant statistic. It doesn't mean you are 80% less likely to be shot by wearing blaze orange. It just supports the fact that of the people mistakenly shot in the past, less were wearing blaze orange. That fact on its own is meaningless and does not correlate to less deaths because of wearing blaze.
I will explain in full later, as it is late and I am tired. Also I will need to look the exact numbers used in that article.
For now, consider this: There is 100 hunters hunting. 1 wears Blaze and 99 don't. 1 hunter wearing blaze and 1 hunter not wearing blaze get shot. 100% of hunters wearing blaze were shot, and essentially only 1% of hunters not wearing blaze were shot. Is it correct to conclude from the above events that you have a 100% chance of being shoot if you wear blaze? Of-course not. In the past less people wore blaze, so even if the risk of getting shot was the same, less people in blaze would be shot.
The only way to show if wearing blaze makes you less likely to be shot is to know not only what those who were shot were wearing, but also what those who were not shot were wearing.
PS: In the roar on public land I wear blaze. It helps people to see me and thus lets other hunters know were I am. Will it completely prevent another hunter from mistaking me for a deer, NO. Will it help to prevent another hunter from mistaking me for a deer, well maybe. The most helpful part would be that I stood out when he/she did not think they saw a deer. They would see me, come say hello, and we then we would arrange to hunt separate areas.
I am still not convinced that if proven target identification measures are followed, that blaze would be any better than no blaze. Blaze is no substitute for poor target identification. It will help you to be seen, yes, but that won't mean it will stop you from being shot by mistake, especially when you are not identified correctly.
did you go to our whare? if not i can get you one brotanga.
Ha ha you get donks that are on steroids when you play gay money.I spent 12 hrs qualifying from one tourney after another on 888 got to the main tourney and passed out, played real money for years just took over my life for a while.I still enjoy the odd heads up with mates.
