Oregon hunters oppose bright orange safety clothing
Hangfire:
I don't like having to wear hunter orange but, IT SAVES LIVES. It seems like every year I hear of some one shot in Idaho that would probably not been shot if wearing orange.
Increased hunting accidents, by not requiring hunter orange, would mean more upset non-hunters and more loss of hunting opportunity. Remember Washington is the smallest western state with only California having more total people in the western states, that means more non-hunters.

Probably wouldn't think about much at all...

I just wish they didn't have the 400 square inch minimum requirement. I think a bright orange hat should be good enough but a hat by itself isn't 400 square inches.

i feel the state should tell you what to do. if you feel its safer to wear orange then wear orange. you shouldn't have to be told. we are not 3 years old. i can dress myself.
Little Dave:
Well, some places in Oregon they just oppose clothing in general.
Sherwin Williams might have the color, don't know.
The gal on Sauk Mountain was wearing blue. Why? She was not a hunter.
Even if she was, it was bear season.
Did she have the choice to wear orange? Sure.
Could the situation be prevented if the shooter was wearing orange? No.
Leave it a choice for personal safety.
I can't stand the angry mother "there should be a law" people. They won't stop until we are all padded with bubble wrap drinking public tap water out of recycled metal cans.
