RE: Blaze Orange In NY
I'm surprised that so many are pro BO. When I 1st opened this thread I was lookin for BO to get slammed big time. It's the law here in Delaware and Maryland. $25 fine here if you get caught with no BO hat on, even if your in your own stand! I think thats a bit much.
I hunt a lease farm and there are 2-3 guys who won't wear BO all the time(inc the land owner) using the excuse its private land,the deer won't spot me, etc...etc...bla...bla...Accidents still happen on private land and hunters will tresspass and kill your non BO Butt! I wear a BO cap even when I'm scouting. I don't trust anybody!
This is one of those laws where you gotta protect the hunters against the few dumm asses that will shoot at anything that moves. I personaly don't object to the law here - it just forces and protects everybody against the few who could pop a cap in your back/chest. If it saves a life,that could be a fellow hunter or even a friend - I say go for it. If your one of the guys who already wears BO, no harm no foul.
