I'm a firm believer in blaze orange. I also believe in common sense and erring on the side of caution. These traits seem hard to find in people today, that's why I'm very particular of whom I hunt with and how I hunt.
I've mentioned this before but it's very appropriate to this thread, so I'll bring it up again.
Was hunting fall turkey which overlaps w/MZ season in my area. Didn't hear hardly any shooting that day. Finally heard a MZ and wondered what they got. Next day I found out that shot was from a 16 yr. firing at movement. Killed an older hunter w/wife and 2 kids. Hunter was wearing blaze orange top to bottom. Spent a 5 days in ICU and died the following weekend. Kid was charged as an adult and got serious jail time. Lives ruined over carelessness.
