Based on the other thread, the consensus is no, but he likes pink.

If you don't use it .

It is almost like giving billy bob  a free pass at taking a shot in your Direction.

So if your smart you will use it .

Thanks, SJ. 

I'm nervous as hell walking the borders of my property during rifle season as I'm half expecting this to happen every time I step on a stick.

What were the odds back when that was filmed that two of the actors would go on to be Governors?

It's a nutty world. Next thing you know a reality TV star will become president.

Good question.  Maybe he should.  You never know when some one may be shooting long distance with a .223.

On three different occasions, I have come across guys in full camo including face-paint. And this was on some very heavily pressured state land. I have to say that it is very un-nerving to all of a sudden find somebody that is only a few yards away when you first see them. I always have to wonder what the heck is going through a guy's mind when he knowingly does something stupid like this. I have to think if he is so uncaring about his own safety, he must have absolutely no concern for mine.

The advantage of blaze orange is it immediately removes the "what is it factor" and can do so a long ways away.

Voluntary rate of compliance is equal to or higher than most states where it is required.

Combine this with one of the lowest hunting accident rates the question becomes would adding another regulation make a real difference?  There too a case could be made that not seeing orange implies a safe background without further due diligence.
