Default RE: New York rifle bill passes: UP"DATE

ORIGINAL: B&C Wanna B

This is directly related because it is one of the reason many of us dont like the idea of rifles in the southern tier. There are too many people But from your (cma3366a) comments i can tell you hunt mostly private land and cannot be concerned with the issues that effect us lowly state landers.
Last i checked you arent a mod so until one tells me to post elsewhere ill continue the closely related debate of rifles in teh southern tier and BO.

As seen in the BO post you created here is my original repsonse.

See I am looking a little deeper. I go by the line of thought that i am more likely to see another hunter who is wearing blaze orage than one who isnt. That said, You are saying that you are more comfortable with full camo. The entire purpose of full camo is to go unseen. how can i be 100% sure that you are not in the background of my shot if you are invisible to the human eye. The only part of your argument that i partially agree with is that you shouldn't have to wear it on private land.
Although that brings int account an entirely new set of considerations. Tresspassing is typically not done in blaze oragne. Youare still taking the risk that tresspassers will not be seen or considered because you are operating under the assumption that the woods are empty. If blaze orange were mandatory it would make tresspassing that much harder.

But the fact remains teh rule isnt there for the people who spend the time to debate over it. It is there because of the people who cannot and will never be capable of conducting themselves in a manner that you or I would see fit. Those people are the reason that I wear orange and will continue to do so. You cant teach tehse people anything they are not interested in learning. Think about it for a moment. Hoow many times have you come off of state land and said to yourself.....Wow that was probably the guy spewing round after round into the forest all day. That is the guy that makes me want to wear blaze orange and i want him in a pumpkin suit.

The whole thing about hunting being a dangerous sport is nonsense. It is not a dangerous sport and it could be alot safer than it already is. But im sure you didnt mean taht it was inherently dangerous, you were just trying to make us BO advocates look bad because we fearwacko hunters. If you didnt fear these people you would be the crazy one.

I have had the exact feeling when hunting rifle country......... []

Just wanted to get out of the woods! Scary people out their.
