2 Orange questions

It seems weird that a guy up in a tree stand has to wear orange but another guy can hide in a camouflaged ground blind without a hint of orange visible.

I hunt public land, and I think all ground blinds should have orange marking. without it most times if not sunny out ... its not possible to see it. I would not walk in front of them if I seen it.
same with marking the tree you are on top of I think.

but again those markings could make ure location known to other hunters ...

Not all laws make complete sense. Seems we can think for ourselves and don’t need laws for everything anyway

Better safe than sorry ? I can layer myself right down to my Tee shirt and it's all blaze orange. If I was going to use a "ground blind" I would definitely tag it with some kind of blaze orange as there are too many jerks out there that will shoot first and ask questions later. Be safe , be seen !

That's just the point. There is no law that say's blinds need to be marked with orange?

I think you missed my point. No there isn't, but do we really need more laws to regulate every aspect of how we live?
If you want to mark your blind, have at it. No need for a law to tell you to.

A couple of high placed orange corners might save somebody and prevent somebody else with the lack of look at what you're shooting at from injuring/killing someone.

Except for varmint/predator on private property,I hunt public land. I wouldn't be without hunter orange at any time.

Well, you can't fix stupid and you can't legislate it, either.

I think it would be best interest for both parties if this was a law though.

Guy in his blind doesn't want to be shot at.

Guys hunting dont want to shoot someone by mistake.

I would think hunters would be for this law. Espically if hunting crown land.
