wearing white

all the hunting photos submitted to the Sask hunter regulations have pics of people wearing various colours and NOT solid colours, lots of red with the word "GAP" prominently displayed, mix and match of whites with black, yada yada, only need colours of white/orange/yellow/red for upper body, NO white for the hat for obvious reasons.

Do a google for Serm, will show online the regs for what is required.

Good luck and stay safe
 
wearing ANY white clothing during the deer hunting season in nova scotia is a big no no. if you want to collect some lead for your collection wearing white will do it.
 
Whatever the law, wearing anything white during deer season in these parts (mostly brush) is asking to get ventilated.

Saskatchewan isn't in your "parts" Why is it that the people that are so concerned about being shot if they aren't wearing orange, are located from Ontario East?
 
Thanks for the info. I noticed that the locals wear red because most of them wear their work clothes[oil industry]. In Quebec I wear blaze orange from head to toe[ including socks and underwear] because of all the hunters in close proximity. I will stick to a blaze orange parka for my Saskatchewan hunt because it's what I have.
Cheers

If you need to wear orange to keep from getting shot where you hunt, common sense obviously isn't that common there.

Let me make something clear here... nobody has to wear orange to keep me from shooting them... I know what I am shooting at at all times.... but if you want to tell me that people from your area are "smarter" and none of you folks need to wear orange..... good luck to you... because common sense tells me to wear orange......because it costs you nothing to be more cautious....
 
Ive never seen a orange deer maybe they are different colors in other provinces.
But I have sure seen lots of white on deer. !

During deer season I don't like to expose my lily white ass if nature calls.

In my opinion white , red and probably even yellow should be banned coast to cost as colors acceptable for hunting.
These are poor colours under certain light conditions where blaze orange for the most part gives the best safety.

Alberta used to have a hunter orange requirement, but they did away with it years ago. The result of the regulation being done away with, is that the number of accidental shootings has not changed, so obviously, hunter orange doesn't seem to make any difference in Alberta. I have hunted in the past wearing orange, because it was legally required, but I will not hunt anywhere that I feel that I need to wear hunter orange to keep from being shot, as many posters on this thread seem to be indicating.

hey... it's your life bud....

This is not me preaching gun control and regs.... this is me preaching common sense.. and common sense tells me to be as visible as possible until I am hunting game....

If you truly think blaze orange makes no difference then have at 'er.... but I disagree....

we all make our own choices.... what you are choosing is not my choice....

Completely agree.

It doesn't matter if someone feels confident in their own safety(verifying targets before taking aim, then releasing safety, then firing). You're depending on others doing the same, if they don't know you're there, you're putting your life in their hands. Some people are fine by this, others would rather be safe.

There's a huge difference with well over 5m people in Southern Ontario with thousands of hunters(many times hunters on farm next to you, or run-ins with trespassers), and some guys having a few thousand acres to hunt in western provinces.

At the end of the day, whatever floats your boat. Someone saying hunter orange is bad or doesn't help at all is just plain idiocy and stupidity. Fact is all you need is ONE run-in with a dumbass who hears you in the bush(can't see you because you're in pure camo) and feels like taking a shot. If you don't want to wear it, that's fine, nobody is forcing you to.

I know plenty of people that have no trouble killing deer in full orange(head to toe), of course that can be seen as overboard but it puts them a peace of mind. Personally I just wear a hat and a sweater(full upper body + arms) during gun seasons and just a hat during bow(don't need to wear anything). Having just a hat each is more then enough so we can spot each other instantly. And inevitably most of us will have encounters with trespassers here and there. Last month(while I wasn't there personally) my dad and 3 guys were bow hunting and all of a sudden they saw a guy with a shotgun, they got up to inform him that it's private property and he told them sorry blah blah blah and also that his 3 friend's were on the other side(geese hunting). Rather be spotted then shot, just saying.

If you are walking around in the thick bush, a person will likely still hear you long before he sees you, even if you are wearing orange. People still get shot wearing orange, you can't protect yourself against every moron that may be out there with a gun. In some cases, I actually prefer that other people don't know that I am there, as it greatly reduces the odds of some retard scoping me.

that is the dumbest statement I have heard in a while... think about it dude

You think about it, if big game doesn't come in camo, what excuse could a person have for shooting at something camo in color?
 
When the head to foot colours law was brought in in Saskatchewan, practically everyone pushed bush as the standard hunting technique. That was a long time ago, and there were accidents. I doubt that it had anything to do with mistakeing hunters for deer, and everything to do with knowing where the pushers were.

Somewhere along the line the SERM noticed that identifying hunters in vehicles was easier when a coloured suit was visible and they aren't in any hurry to change that. If they believed that red, yellow, orange or white was going to make someone safer, wouldn't they be clammering to wear the magical colours themselves?:confused:

Excellent points.
 
I see many great sportsmen in this thread.... owning a gun is no different than driving a car... common sense ereally is not all that common as stubblejumper said.... lets all agree that we need to protect ourselves.... sometimes a 4 way stop or two way stop with yields isn't enough and you have to put up a traffic light....

and Stubblejumper... when you wrote "I have never SEEN a deer in camo".... and I said it was stupid... that was tongue in cheek...lol.. ie. you didn't see it as it was camouflaged... hope that wasn't taken the wrong way....lol

And how would you sneak up on a poacher wearing that?... exactly the point here....
 
are we too far derailed to keep poking fun at the OP wearing white?

I hope not...


Do your hunting buddies know you're planning to lose your virginity on this trip?

Conversely, if pylon shooting from long distances is a favorite pass-time in Sask., perhaps dressing all in orange and standing in a field isn't the best idea.
