If it was not a law would you still wear hunter orange during the firearm and muzzleoader seasons?

i'm all for a safe hunt for everybody!!i believe its a good law and i don't see a any good reasons to change it, it realy helps take the guess work out of identifing its a person and not game and it doesn't hurt your chances on taken game, i can see a person say" no" if they trespass alot....i voted YES!!!!.... good luck and be safe...............turkey scout

Voted yes on public ground. I'm fortunate that the properties I hunt I'm usually alone or at most with my friend in KY.

I voted "to and from my stand" .... thats pretty much what I do now. Once in my tree or blind I hang my hat where it is visible to others but I dont actually wear it.

I do not consider trespassers hunters..... That is true but the are still people and I would not want to hurt someone because of there mistake or mine. I wear orange when I walk out with my turkey, my vest has a large piece of orange that tucks away into the vest that you pull out drape it over the turkey and snaps on the back of the vest. I wear a hat and a vest during gun and muzzleloader private or public. That is how I learned to hunt, that is how my son will learn. I get razed about it some times but it doesn't bother me, it does bother me that some of the people I have hunted with take that kind of chances over a deer that it doesn't matter what they would be wearing they would still get the deer they are hunting.

Basic gun saftey issues ladies and gentlemen. I spend many days in pursuit of Indiana game animals, always obeying the laws.
Sooooo, people are still going to wear hunter orange if the law does not require it...
Thanks for the poll Woody...

To me hunter orange is equally important as my safety belt.

I wear it, but think they should allow for the camo patterns of hunters orange.

I wear it to and from stand, I don't wear it on stand so I can catch the trespassers. With the CO's number on speed dial. Nothing worse than hunting behind your own house and seeing a big orange blob sneaking threw. My neighbor has caught trespassers this way, and I have to. Know the number of trespassers is almost none.

For the record, the law is pretty clear stating that you are supposed to "wear" hunter orange no matter if hunting public or private ground. You can't hang it up in the tree, or just wear it to and from the stand and still be within the law.
Breaking this law is no different than breaking any other hunting law.
Don't preach ethics to a guy who shoots one after hours, across the property line, doesn't check one in, uses an illegal weapon, etc. if you're breaking the hunter orange law.

Probably the last rule I would ever consider violating. Common sense helps keep you alive.
