Oregon hunters oppose bright orange safety clothing
Michelle_Nelson:
Even though I understand the reasonings behind states adopting the Hunters Orange. I think the gov and people are trying to babyproof EVERYTHING. Accidents happen. Sometimes they are fatal and that really sucks. IMO that is the risk you take for participating in anything.

Actually International pick is a better choice as it does not resemble any fall colors. Back east in the oaks, maples and such the orange kinda blends in. Go with Glo-Pink... :chuckle: the Rainbow folks would be hitting on ya! :chuckle: :yike:

Here is a novel thought how about using your God given choice and using your freaking noodle! I wear hunters orange when rifle hunting, but have taken it off once i'm 50-60 ft up a tree in my stand... Is it against the law? yep, do i think it comprimises my safty, NO! I Didn't wear hunter orange while rifle hunting in ID last year, and didn't shoot my bro in law or cousin.... Made it harder to push/drive through the woods tho. :twocents: Good for Oregonians for standing up the THE MAN and the Nanny State!

I'm all for it. Camo blaze orange makes great camo too.
I know a guy who shot his partner by accident, he shot an animal and it passed through killing his life long hunting partner. He said if he'd worn orange it wouldn't have happened.
I have a friend who saw a relative shoot someone. Again orange would have prevented it.
The main argument I always see is don't tell me what to do. Well when people stop being stupid we won't have to be told. (never happen)
I wear orange so hopefully someone won't shoot me, but have found it to be very good camo in dry areas.
If you got shot once you probably wouldn't think twice about wearing it.

Hopefully the Oregon commission is not like ours and they actually listen to what the people want (or don't want in this case)........
