My attempts at avoiding being shot by overzealous hunters are mainly by wearing bright colors. I wear my bright yellow cycling clothes and Misty dons this little orange Ruff Wear vest.
When we bought it the guy at EMS said, "You have a dog?"
"Yup," I answered. "It's a dog vest, ya know."
"Right," he said. "Except last week we had a couple who were trying to put it on like it was a running vest. Just wanted to check and make sure you actually had a dog."
We both agreed that those people shouldn't be allowed to run anywhere near a road.

The dog looks good. It's a very sporting vest.
For a moment I though you were hunting but you are avoiding being the hunted. Very wise.
Funny story. Agreed these people should be running anywhere near the road.
frightening stuff!
...is misty a hunting/gun dog?
Thanks richard! Liss- Isn't that story fun! I always chuckle when I imagine a nice couple from the city trying to wear a dog's jacket :)
Kate- Misty's a hunting dog by breeding, but not by choice. We don't hunt and when we are in the woods and she hears gunshots she starts shaking and wants to go home. She does really, really enjoy going after any birds or small animals that are on the ground though. Points them out and then chases them up a tree. :)
