That said, hunters accidentally shooting hikers is an exceedingly rare occurrence. I found one report in whole country in the last four years. Most hunters are pretty careful.

JRC, was that the one in MA where the hunter shot a woman walking her dog (he was a state trooper). I don't remember all of the details.
My dog comes out every week for snomo trail work days, I always tie orange flagging tape in a bow around his neck.
