Two of my hunting partners had firearms pointed at them, because they were wearing orange, and the moron with the rifle saw them, and decided to use his rifle scope to look at them. I watched the moron come and go, and he never saw me, so he never pointed his firearm at me. Two individuals wearing orange were shot a few years back, as they were riding on a red atv. The orange clothes didn't keep the idiot from shooting them, and in fact if they had not been wearing orange, the idiot may not have even seen them, and they might be alive today. Another person that I knew was mistaken for a deer, and was shot by another idiot, even though he was wearing orange. Alberta did away with the hunter orange requirement many years ago, and since then, the number of accidental shootings did not suddenly increase as a result. As such, I generally choose not to wear orange except where the regulations require that I wear it. My upland jackets have orange on them, but I didn't choose them because of the orange.
