[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2264202, member: 36999"] I personally agree with the orange requirements, where I hunt in PA there are some spots with very thick cover that can easily hide a person not wearing orange. We regularly drive for deer and there are shots I have passed on because I was able to see there was a person in the direction I would have shot even though they were not directly in the line of fire. For example I was the walker on a drive and we were pushing out a piece of ground walking up and down several ridges. I came over the top of a ridge and through the brush on the other side I saw that the stander was was one ridge closer than he was supposed to be. Since I would have been shooting in his direction I elected to pass on some deer moving out the other side of that ridge. Even though the deer were 50ft below the top, the person was 100 yards passed the ridge top and I would have been shooting into a solid backstop I could easily see was clear I could not shoot knowing someone was in that direction. If it hadn’t been for the orange I would have taken the shot having no idea that the person was across the ridge from me possibly risking a ricochet. [/QUOTE]
