If your rifle hunting I'd wear it! But yet, I've almost been shot wearing nothing but blaze orange.. Bow hunting I don't worry to much, but not a bad idea to wear just an orange hat while walking around.
They make that orange camo too...
I still haven't rifle hunted since I almost got shot.. 3 clips get unloaded on you you get a little scared.
I refuse to wear orange or other bright colors when hunting as I have had too many idiots use their rifle scope to look at me instead of a cheap pair of binoculars.
I wear old army surplus wool pants and shirts if it is cold, and jeans and shirts that will blend into my surroundings when warm.

6 yrs ago a bowhunter in idaho shot another bowhunter who was calling elk.... wtf! Its no wonder its so hard to get a farmer to let you hunt... its terrifing when you see someone else in the same clearcut as you.. get down and don't move till they are gone. I pity the fool who takes a crack at me and doesn,t hit me.... they are dead, im not gonna yell or wave my arms, im gonna return some seriouse fire...as the hound hunters of the st Joe river basin say... shoot-shovel-and shut up.I wonder sometimes if blaze orange helps you not get shot at or helps you become the target? I sometimes think wearing the best camo possible and blending in would help you out better.
I just read in the paper last night that some IDIOT shot his 14 year old nephew while elk hunting, claiming "he thought he seen an elk moving"... One reason I quit rifle hunting.. Many people think it's ok to get absolutely hammered drunk and then go walk around looking for something to shoot at.

Law requires you to wear blaze when rifle hunting for any animals.

As far as being scoped by a stranger, well if you point a weapon at me, I don't care if its 5yds or 500yds, expect to be fired upon PERIOD.
