Dave,
I would invest in some fluoro coloured camo gear. It might help,
though with nearly 50% of the victims in hunting accidents in the USA
wearing "safety" colours, fluoro might just make you a better target.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Thanks for sharing that link Clive!!
As someone that spends a fair amount of time quietly in the bush in
camouflague photographing birds I find this incredibly disturbing to
say the least!
Cheers,

As we all know, duck hunters (at least in Vic) have a list of
species they
can shoot and a bag limit, and as we all know they are very
restrained,
make sure they are aiming at the right species and stop as soon as
they
have reached the bag limit.
I am sure our NSW friends will be just as restrained!

I'm not in favour of hunting in national parks, but are they
suggesting
people will shoot flying foxes and bandicoots? Or are they talking
about
indirect effects?
