Never said I didn't call it in.You should have called it in.
And in PA blue and red are discouraged because turkeys have those colors.In NZ the safety color is blue because guys would shoot at orange thinking it was a Red Deer.
Idiocy is Universal.
It's so confusing! .... and what if you're colorblind? Then what do you not shoot at?!And in PA blue and red are discouraged because turkeys have those colors.
Because I'm an adult onset hunter, and because I've helped friends and gotten my bow hunter card etc. I've now done the class 3 times.my wife and i were talking about this incident in the car the other day.
a couple years ago, she came to the conclusion that she didn't want to pursue the wyoming doe pronghorn tags i drew for her after i had a her spend some time target shooting out on the blm at different ranges. reason being, she just couldn't feel confident and competent with rifle and was not going to go about shooting at living things because of that. i commended her for that and told she absolutely didn't have to hunt, ever, if she didn't want to.
i don't think many will be in favor of such a thing, but i'm starting to wonder if it's time that hunter education certificates start becoming a "have to get recertified every 5 years" type of thing.
i'm not sure it would make a difference, but we need to start forcing people to think more about what they're doing on a regular basis. maybe we can find a way to start failing people out of hunting, frankly. there's just no excuses for these accidents anymore, not that there hardly ever were.
i do hope this guy spends a healthy chunk of time in prison, not that any punishment will be worse than what he's feeling and will carry with him for the rest of his life. but hunting accidents need to stop being labeled as accidents and people need to see the example, that if you f&*k up this hard, your normal life as a citizen is over.
Not sure I'd make it mandatory... but it's a great refresher.
What concurrent:i'm not sure i would either. i hate legislating for the lowest common denominator.
i can't help but wonder if these things keep happening that will also cause cpw to reconsider some of this insanity in regards to how many folks they're putting in the woods.
I don't cross paths with a lot of hunters here, but it's terrifying how close I can get to them without being noticed, when I do. Sometimes, I'm 30 feet away, walking towards them through the crunchy leaves and they haven't seen me yet. I don't get it.I called in a muzzy hunter in ‘18, idiot walked in with his gun pointed right at me while I was cow calling… also didn’t have on a stitch of blaze.
Im also shocked by how oblivious some hunters are esp NR. Had two archers walk across the opposing ridge and sit down in the open, while we were bear hunting last weekend. They were totally sky lined, didn’t notice the deer 80 yards behind them on the ridge, and it took them over an hour to notice us, two dudes in blaze orange 250 yards directly in front of them. SMH
Cue ball.It's so confusing! .... and what if you're colorblind? Then what do you not shoot at?!
My buddy and I talked about this yesterday as well leaving WY after chasing grouse from heavily used recreational trailheads all weekend.i don't think many will be in favor of such a thing, but i'm starting to wonder if it's time that hunter education certificates start becoming a "have to get recertified every 5 years" type of thing.

My son is doing Hunter Ed now and I'm doing it with him. Like wllm, it will be my 3rd time around and I'm actually excited for it. In todays age of the internet, collaborative communications and educational platforms and even VR, it's not the logistical challenge that it would have been years ago to deliver/participate in a refresher course.
