PLEASE READ: Here's a True story for you. I was 18yrs old, my first ever Southern Tier opening day of shotgun. My partners told me I could shoot any deer that came along. I'm sitting on a huge side hill above a logging trail. Below the logging trail was pretty thick with briars,and dropped off deeply just below the trail.It was a cold rainy day. But I was excited to see a deer. After several hrs of sitting I thought I heard a branch break. It got my attention. Suddenly I see some brown coming up through the briars. I adjust myself, and my gun into that direction. I was certain it was a deer coming up the hill to the log trail. I couldn't quite make it out yet. But I was pumped & excited. As it neared I brought my gun up, and got ready for a shot. The brown object came closer, and was only a few feet from the log trail. I was going to shoot soon as the deer got onto the log trail. As it neared I almost decided to shoot then out of excitement, but I held off. Suddenly the object seemed a little odd, and a man stands up as he got onto the log trail.This idiot was wearing full brown carharts, and he was crawling through the brush. I quickly lowered my gun, and yelled at him I ALMOST SHOT YOU!!
After that I was shaking like a leaf, I just nearly shot another hunter. I almost pulled that trigger. I was mad becasue this guy didn't have a stitch of orange on, and was wearing brown. I couldn't believe my 1st time out I almost killed a guy.
Now let me ask all of you, how many times have you come across hunters wearing brown, white, green, clothing. Not to mention todays camo patterns having dark brown colors in them. Advantage, Brown HD, Seclusion, Mossy Oak. Go ahead flip though a hunting catalog, and notice the brown in the very camo your wearing! Now picture yourself being that hunter walking the woods wearing it, perhaps stalking a deer, on a track, coming up a hill. Your concentrating on that animal for the kill. Perhaps another hunter in camo is sitting ahead of you. A young inexperienced kid, his first time in the woods!WILL HE PULL THAT TRIGGER?
Pass the law its only going to save lives. No deer is worth being shot for, or even put at that kind of risk.
