Fabs, all that blaze orange is no guarantee. Many years ago, while in the military, a buddy and I hunted up in the area well north of Elko Nevada. A guy came running into our camp all hysterical. Turned out he'd shot his business partner. When we got to the scene, there was the body, clad from head to toe in blaze orange although there wasn't much left to the guy's head.
He claimed he thought it was a woodchuck. Frankly, I've never seen a blaze orange woodchuck, but then again, I've never seen a woodchuck in Nevada, and I lived in that state off and on for almost 15 years. The state confiscated his .300 Weatherby, gave him a fine, and told he he could not have a Nevada hunting license for five years.
FWIW, both gentlemen were from california, and you wonder why they have such a bad reputation.
