PJ,

I know wearing an entire body of blaze orange isn't a guarantee, but it is a lot better than wearing less.

Yes, a person could be tracking a running deer and shoot me by accident. Yes, a person could be shooting at a deer on a mountain across the valley, miss it, and send a stray bullet 1,000 yards my way.

As far as guarantees are concerned, I understand that there aren't any in life except for death and taxes. That is why I try to take every precaution possible to avoid risk. If you have seen Along Came Polly, I am like the Ben Stiller character that evaluates risk all the time. However, I do not work for an insurance company, I just read a lot of legal cases where people have done stupid things and I try to avoid them by forseeing them.

I guess my thing with the full body suit of blaze orange versus some blaze orange and some camo is that I seriously doubt any deer has really been spooked by my blaze orange such that I couldn't kill it.
