I wear it in then take it off in the tree. Leave it on if I'm on the wma. I got shot bowhunting when I was 15. Probably wouldn't have happened if I'd been wearing some orange. My dad had dropped me off at a farm cause I was too young to drive so no car parked to tell anyone else I was there. Guy came in there bird hunting. I heard the birds get up, then a boom and then pellets raining down all around me. Heard one cutting the air for seconds then it smacked me upside head just in front of the ear. Just one pellet but it knocked my head over and blood trickled down my face. I hollered and the guy came over. He was tore up. He drove me home. Damn E/R doc left it in. My family doc, who'd been a surgeon in Nam, cut it out in his office next day. I still remember they"ting" it made when the pellet hit his tin pan. Got like 2 stitches. Coulda been a much worse deal. I was lucky. I have slipped off without orange some but it's a good idea. You just never know.
