[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2535505, member: 92604"] The MZ hunter is guilty of manslaughter at least. You should not shoot unless you have seen your prey and identified it as your prey. No excuses. There are still instances, even local to me, where brush pickers are wearing black rain gear during hunting season and get shot because a hunter heard noise in brush and shot in there because he saw black and "thought" it was a bear. Hunter still guilty of at least being an idiot and manslaughter. Where I live MZ and archery hunters are not required to wear orange except in a couple instances of overlapping seasons with modern rifle. If hunters would ID there targets we wouldn't need to wear orange or pink. Used to be red or yellow or orange when I started hunting and it was a suggestion not a low. I have not experienced any situation where I needed to worry about shooting at an animal and hitting somebody beyond my target, always it seems the bullet hits the ground a few feet after passing through an animal or it stays inside the body. I've never shot an animal on a flat or skylighted, those being instances of the bullet may pass through and strike some unknown person in the distance. I have heard of ricochets that hit a hunter in the distance. [/QUOTE]
