Was the man who was shot wearing blaze orange? Just googled up the Vermont hunting regs. The state does not require the wearing of blaze orange during hunting season: This is a badism.
Hunter orange is not required by law in Vermont, but wearing
it might save your life. Almost half of Vermont’s hunting
related shootings might be prevented if hunters wear hunter
orange.
A New York study found that 94% of hunters involved in
mistaken for game accidents were not wearing hunter orange.
This is even more startling when you consider that 81% of
New York hunters do wear hunter orange.
Hunting alone doesn't mean you can't get shot.
Bingo!!!
Most of the time my hunting is done solo: i wear blaze orange coveralls when deer and turkey hunting. When we lived in WV more folks were shot in turkey season than deer season. Our neighbor was mistaken for a grouse and shot: She survived.
