Was out today with some friends, one of which was looking for his first buck, unfortunately no bucks, saw a cow moose with a calf, 6 doe's and my friend had a long shot at a running wolf which ended up being just that a long shot, no wolf, its amazing how fast they disappear into nothing and then appear again 50 yards away, anyways was hunting 3-20, was very busy saw lots of people, one group of hunters drove by us while we were 100 yards off the road slowed down yelled across the cut, scaring any animals in the area, we should be wearing orange because they would shoot us......2 of the 4 of us were wearing blaze orange, some people!!

How was everyone else's day heard about 4 shots?

Carfefulll what you wish for, BC is aready Bubble Wrapped & Red Taped enough. If YOU like blaze orange, Rock It, but don't preach.
Hunters that complete/pass the CORE already know to ID their target and what's beyond. Instead of preaching balze on everyone, mentor a new hunter. Be productive, not reactive (knee jerk).

If all hunters wear Blaze Orange, and new hunters are educated that you don't shoot Blaze orange, that is a simple recipie for a new hunter to shoot at a berry picker or fire-wooder not covered in blaze because they aren't hunitng. Blaze orange isn't the solution, IDing a possible target and beyond is.

absolutely there is never a reason to shoot anything until the target is ID, was not my intention to preach we should all wear orange, was just confused as to why a fellow hunter would scare the animals away from other hunters for no reason and say they would shoot us because that would be incredibly poor judgement on iding a target first
