am i missing something here ? did the forests of ny suddenly become a killing ground ? as far as i know there are actually far fewer shooting related deaths now than 20 or even 10 years ago. a couple of you sound like every time you walk in the woods some idiot is shooting at you ! wow -paranoia ! i do wear blaze orange when i hunt on the ground but the state doesn't have to pass another law to tell me what to wear. when i'm sitting 20' off the ground in a treestand i don't want to have the orange glow and look like some christmas tree ornament . deer do see blaze as a whiteor light color from the studies i've read and i'm sure a white object moving in their area will alarm them. you all are welcome and allowed to wear any color you want , i want that same option, thank you very much !!!
