    Re: Hunter shot west of Spences Bridge

    I know this past season i ran into 2 guys hunting together.
    And when i walked up to them to chat, the one fellow (young guy) was trying to "calm down" from excitement, as he got "excited" seeing my legs as
    movement thru some timber (although at that point i had watched them for minutes already before making my way to them).
    He statrted going on how hunters should be have "blaze orange" on them, as for a second there, he thought he was looking at a deer etc.

    I looked at him and said "good thing it is 4 point only right now!!??"

    Truth is, some folks get real excited "instantly" which is not a good thing.
    They might at that point see something in their mind that actually isn't.
    I hate hunting any buck season and especially a doe/cow allotment area to boot for that reason and rarely go into areas that do.

    Made me wonder if there should be some blaze orange stripes (thin ones) that need to be on the side of pant legs, on the outer side, from knees down.
    Would not interfere with the camo look with game (Although they dont see orange), from front on, but would be noticeable to hunters.

    Anyways, wouldnt doubt if a time comes that we have to wear some orange.
    But as for OP, sounds like this incident was "self inflicted", intentional or not, who knows.
    Treat guns as loaded at all times!

    When was the last time a hunter or anyone was killed by a hunter in BC? Honestly, I don't know.

    A hunter on a red ATV near Pink Mountain was shot in the leg IIRC. 5-10 years ago

    He survived. Happened a few days after I left the area about 9 years ago. Pretty scary incident for sure. He's a lucky man.

    They did a study in the US and found that 75% of all fatal hunting "accidents" involved a love triangle.
