Since when is taking radios and using them to keep tabs on eachother and the game illegal? Come on!
Is orange even required in the early buck hunts? Honestly if you can't tell the difference between a human and a buck cause they aren't orange you shouldn't shoot!
Do you have a trash bag in your vehicle? I emailed the state patrol you criminal you! Lol

I dont even bring my rifle up until I am sure what I am looking at. I however have had shots go over my head(at an animal) and shots ricochette VERY close to me. All of which they said they did not see me....and I was even wearing orange. I am very aware of my surroundings. It is hard to see someone all camo'd up sitting behind a stump at a couple hundred yards away. Its all about safety! For everyone! Big deal! Wear the orange!

And yes I do have a garbage bag in my car at all times.

Geez, how did we hunt for hundreds of years before orange?
:yeah:Orange should be a personal choice.. But if the WDFW says we have to wear it i guess we have to. But no one likes a nark for the little things.  Its almost like the seat belt law, if you don't want to wear a seat belt you shouldn't have to.

if i worried about everyone else and what they do i would have no time to mind my own business like i like doing.

who cares if they dont have orange on. its their own descision. the law is stupid.
if i wanted to wear clothes like the new red green show i should be able to. Worked fine for a hundred years.

Even though its the law and it is a safety thing I believe it should be a persons choice.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I understand it's a safety thing but snitch on them for something important, there are more important things for wdfw officials to spend their time on.

I'm in favor of hunter orange.  In every state where it has become required, shooting incidents have decreased.  I've had deer walk within 10 feet of me while I'm wearing orange, so I don't believe it hurts my hunting.

Statistically, hunting is very safe and part of that is due to hunter orange. 

Whenever anyone is shot, every hunter gets a black eye in the eyes of the public.

But Bob, why orange? Why can't we have choices? How about fluorescent green or yellow? Or hot pink?  :yike:

I don't think a pink hunter would get mistaken for a deer, elk, or bear.

I for one would not turn in anyone for not wearing orange, yes it is the law but so is going 70. Who the heck drives the speed limit. you could argue this for days on end and get no where..

I hate the fact that I have to wear this bright orange crap, mayebe it will save my life one day but I highly doubt it. Might get me killed if anything, to the guy who scoped me a few years back, I hope you're head still hurts. :chuckle: :chuckle:
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

I don't know this for a fact, but I believe there have been several studies that indicate orange is safer than any other color for hunters.  You don't see too many highway workers wearing pink, do you?  :chuckle:
