I checked one of the guys Facebook page. They are Bulgarians not Russians, and they was hunting by Mt. Saint Hellen.
Look like season time for me but not wearing orange  :bdid:

Seems like some easy revenue for citations. No orange alone would be easy one. Video proof right there :dunno:

Maybe someone on here knows them and can educate them on rules and safety....hell some places during rifle elk I wouldn't feel safe with a bright orange jumpsuit and a runway light on my head  :yike:

looks like they had 4 points for a Margaret tag, based on the note on the youtube video.

People on here take there orange off for photos all the time.

560 is Lewis River.

It's not clear if they took orange off, but if so they had it off for longer than posing for a photo. Same could be said about the vodka toast- did they unload first and were done hunting  :dunno:

I did appreciate the reverence they showed for the animal.

The reverence they show for the animal is something I can relate to.  It is a lot more realistic to me than the fist bumps on a food plot deer hunt video.

Regarding the witch hunt, here's the relevant part of the law regarding the orange:

RCW 77.08.010 Definitions
(65) "To hunt" and its derivatives means an effort to kill, injure, harass, harvest, or capture a wild animal or bird.

This isn't an effort to capture because that's about living things.  It is not a harvest that's about gathering in crops.  It's not and effort to kill, injure, or harass because that's already been done.

Then the rule about the orange goes something like this...

WAC 232-12-055 Hunting--Hunter orange clothing requirements.
(2)  It is unlawful to hunt deer or elk during all modern firearm general seasons in any manner unless the hunter is wearing fluorescent hunter orange clothing.

So if the hunt is done, the law doesn't require orange... or does it...

The funny one in the law is this one:
(3) All modern firearm permit holders must wear fluorescent hunter orange clothing.

The spirit of the law on this one probably has intended meaning "while hunting."  Even so, it is omitted in this clause and explicitly specified in adjacent clauses.  So to be tedious and literal these guys and the rest of you should be wearing the orange during funerals, weddings, job interviews, and other curious situations.

Thats one of the reasons why I switched to archery. You always see videos or hear about all sorts of stories where people dont understand the red, blatantly disregard the red, shoot at animals in whatever part they can see at that moment, and or are just unsafe people in general who should not have any kind of firearm in their hands to begin with. And theres just to many hunters.
