Throwback,
Are you ready for the "my great uncles friend who lived down the street was hunting legal one time a game warden walked up on him and charged him hunting over bait, at night with a .22 rim fire-and -and -and know what? He wasn't wearing any orange!!!"
10 minutes?
2 hours?
Tomorrow?
Next week?
Mark my words some knuckledragger is going to post it and probably sooner rather than later.

Seriously? The only reason anybody should have a problem with LE Officers not wearing orange is if: #1 You're a terrible woodsman and afraid you're going to shoot them yourself or #2 you're planning on some form of illegal hunting and don't want to get caught. Either way, let me know where you hunt so that I do not get anywhere near you!!!

I said yes. But only when entering the woods on a deer hunt or even turkey hunt if the light conditions aren't good

If that is the case with a hunter knowing his/her target.....why should anyone wear blaze orange?

Well, since you mentioned it. My uncle, who was the best hunter I ever knew, was coyote hunting one time with a deer rifle in deer stand over a corn feeder and a mineral lick with a buck grunt call on his neck and tinks 69 out on a cotton ball on opening day of deer season and he got a ticket for hunting DEER without a fluorescent orange vest AND a hunting deer over bait ticket. AND HE WAS COYOTE HUNTING!!
Oh, and the game warden didn't have on his orange vest because he stepped out of his truck one step and just looked UP from the main road in the hunting club so I better call and complain on HIM for not having on his orange vest. Maybe he'll get fired.

Yep!!! I had a cop stop me one night when I followed him at 78 m.p.h. on I-85 for like five miles. I figured if he was speeding I could also. He asked if I thought I was above the law. I told him " no sir" do you think you are? Yes I did get the ticket!My point was, if he was speeding why couldnt I ? So back to the wardens, if I have to wear a vest to be safe why doesnt he wear one?
Man....you got balls. That is so true though. I believe you should have went to court. He is not supposed to speed just for the heck of it. What if ambulances did that just to be faster to get somewhere for the heck of it(non emergency)?

You know my great uncle's friend too? He's a real popular guy.

If the woods are so dangerous that hunters need to wear orange then ANY person walking in the woods during hunting season should have on orange.
They should have to call you before they come on to the property.

Only 5% or less of the whole population hunts folks.

while we all jest and have fun,
remember, the operative word is "accidental."
to not wear a vest in the woods during big-game season is a stretch bordering upon over-confidence, imho.

From the attitudes of many around here and actions of others around the state, I'm about ready to say screw the orange unless it is merely a cover for the Kevlar!

And your point is?
Deer hunting don't run the world, and it is NOT the "Deer-partment of Natural Resources"

The word "accident" implies that is was not controllable, or stoppable on anyone's part.
It wasn't an accident, it was a crime.

i'm quite clueless, since i'm not a lawyer, nor an ethicist of any qualification.
maybe all "accidents & crimes" can be tried at the State Court in Fulton County, Atlanta Georgia?? that's the Capitol, and that's where such issues should be resolved, right??
if PETA says its a crime, is it? are you a member of PETA?
