Bill to restrict young hunters misses deadline
Kain:
I thought the bill that required non-hunters to wear orange was a separate bill. :dunno:
"Blake also wrote a bill requiring those hiking, biking or recreating in some manner on public lands where hunting is allowed to wear fluorescent orange clothing. It did not come up for a vote in committee."
oneezreiter:
Either way I don't like it.

My bad.......I read too quickly and didn't comprehend very well :P Serves me right for trying to quickly catch up on some issues in between working on more boring issues at my job. :chuckle:
Now that I've read a little slower, I wonder what bill senator Haugen was referring to when she said "she would have voted for the bill had it come up. It is a good bill now. It'll be a better bill next year." I hope she wasn't talking about the orange requirement. The other bill I can live with.

non hunters having to wear orange is another reason to hate us hunters..But I dont have a problem with it for me or them..If we could trust everyone to identify before they shoot we wouldnt have any of these problems..Just another example of fews actions dictating what happenes to the masses :bash:

The "requirement" would be silly!
That said there is nothing wrong with educating outdoor enthusiast about hunting seasons and encouraging them to be "seen". We do it all the time for motorcycle and bicycle riders on the roadways and they don't end up hating car drivers. I always remind members of my mule club to put some blaze orange on their animals and their tack when they ride in the spring and fall.
