bobcat:
It's ridiculous when the government starts telling the people what color clothing they have to wear.  Why orange? Why not pink?

rasbo:
I wear it when rifle hunting and make damn sure my wife and kids wore plenty..Its ashamed it has come to that,but a great deal of hunters in the woods are unsafe,I see a lot of it each year..I have to not only watch that an animal dont pick up on me,but hunters also..I would like having the choice,and If I did here I would still wear it...I dont like the goberment telling me what I have to do..If that makes any sense

bobcat:
I probably would wear it sometimes if it were not a law here, but other times, like when it's really raining, I like to throw on a good rain coat over everything. Problem is my rain coat is not orange. Or, what if you put a backpack on over your orange? You're no longer legal.

I agree I want to wear hunter pink ;) and there is some green and yellow out there that is blinding... I hate orange to be honest.  Idaho doesn't have hunter orange rules and I dont think they have an excessive number of accidental shootings  :dunno: this whole government knows best is getting really old really fast.....we should be able to make our own choices I dont wear orange during bear season :dunno: still idiots with guns in the woods and responsible people with guns in the woods just doesn't make much sense.
