A couple of comments:

Shotguns must be used in CT unless you are on private land, as opposed to high powered rifles.

Many times, bullets continue on their journey after leaving the prey. This we all know. it's "where" they go, that concerns me. Wearing "orange" doesn't change that, but the odds of a bullet blowing thru the woods and into blinds, and everywhere it wants to go, is always there. Wearing the orange, to avoid the obvious mistaken identity, is still a good way to protect yourself. Once you are in a blind, it's a whole other ballgame.

Heck, being out in the woods after dark, is a big "danger" time, since the "orange" doesn't show up.

I read thru a list of hunting accidents last year on some website that likes to advertise them because they want to show how dangerous hunting is, and it seemed that the "after dark" scenario was repeated fairly regularly.
