Hunter ed, yes, blaze orange, I don't think so.
We didn't have a problem shooting other hunters prior to the blaze orange Welsh, I'd be willing to bet those hunting accident numbers have increased since the introduction of orange.
I'm thinking the late 80's early 90's it was introduced. The stats at that time didn't show that orange reduced accidents, actually the opposite. However, with today new camo's, that may have changed.
One other thing, I think it made the CO's job a heck of a lot easier with blaze orange. Just throwing that out there.
Got those numbers?Quote:

All joking aside, why would you "not" want to wear blaze orange while hunting? It could save your life, isn't that enough? Why do you feel the need to hide from a CO?
Because CO's are nosey buggers and like to talk and talk and talk interfering with my hunt or fishing . And then they tell others where I'm at, or successful, or I later see them there hunting or fishing too .;)Quote:
