If elk are colorblind what is the major hesitation to apply an orange cap or some sort of head covering? I hunt in states that require no orange and I always apply my fashionable odwc orange cap. I hate wearing that old seatbelt in my truck but I don’t see as many archery hunters complaining about the seatbelt required for safety as I do when it comes to suggesting they wear that dreadful orange cap. Just don’t get it
stupid people will do stupid things regardless of how many "safety" laws are passed . the answer is in punishing the fools when they harm others.
gun malfunctioning is an accident . user error is NOT!!!! if someone kills another because of their own foolish decision to pull the trigger before confirming their target fines , jail time ,revoking hunting rights and gun ownership rights, possible death penalty , for sure sterilization so their foolish ways might end with them and they don't pass it on would all be reasonable options .imo.
passing laws that punish the sensible folks that make wise decisions is something I do not agree with and will never support.( do not agree with seatbelt laws either) .
while either may be wise to do and I often choose to do both , I feel no need to tell others they should and certainly do not condone forcing them to do so.
IF someone wants to wear orange (or wear a seatbelt) go for it. I have zero objection. I have no right to stop you same as you have no right to force me to do otherwise.
wiser words were never spoken by man--"those who trade freedoms for safety will have and deserve neither!!!!!!!!!!!"
