I have long theorized that once in a great while brain cells do a dyslexic reversal in an excitable hunter who is intently looking for game, and his brain suddenly shouts, "ORANGE! SHOOT!"
It is my attempt to figure out why once in a while a hunter in orange in wide open is killed by a bullet from well within visual range.
I'm sure hunter orange spares lives and injuries in far greater numbers than such an anomoly might cause, even if my theory is correct. I wear hunter orange where required by law and slectively in other situations: while packing game, in an area with other hunters, or working cover with a partner so he can keep track of me easier.
