Well, here in NY there have been 22 fatal "accidental sootings" in the last 10 years or so.

21 of the 22 had no Blaze Orange.

I don't know the details (tree vs ground, etc.)

But the statistic is pretty telling - only 1 hunter was shot wearing Blaze Orange. There is NO DOUBT that Blaze increases hunter safety. The arguement is whether or not it should be mandated for people who are too stupid to protect themselves....like seat belts.

I understand the resistance to additional laws, but I do not understand the hostility against those who support Blaze Orange. They are just trying to make the woods safer for everyone.
