[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 2535287, member: 84845"] If someone shoots at an other person, it's not due to orange laws/lack of orange laws. It's because someone not only did not verify their target and what's beyond it, they just shot a movement which is completely negligent and not an "accident". How someone can mistake a person for a deer, elk, etc is beyond me. Not only do you need to identify the movement as an animal, you must identify the species, and it the vast majority of tags, you need to identify the presence or absence of antlers, and in some cases, the number of points on the antlers. So it's just unfathomable to me that someone would say they thought that person was a spike bull elk, or a branched antler deer, etc. Could orange prevent someone from making a negligent "mistake"? Yes, possibly, but if someone shoots at someone, it's not because the victim wasn't wearing orange. [/QUOTE]
