Whata africking idiot

Never have I ever mistook a deer for a human.

Stupid people on public land that have no clue.

I’d quit hunting before is hunt reserves

ESPECIALLY on public land…. You know there will be people all over.

I don't, but hunt my own land. If I hunted with others, which I'm not going to do, I spray paint myself orange.

I hunt WMAs early archery season. Once gun season starts I hunt a wma that’s archery only not too far from my house. It’s clearly posted as such. And yet at least once a trip I’ll see some dude come barging down a trail with a rifle on his back. I’ve complained to LADWF and have yet to ever see a game warden out there.

Not that he knows of.

We hunt the land we own too and I ALWAYS wear orange. I’ve had to beat it into my son. He has told me the same thing “nobody else is out here” and I told no one that you know of!

Completely agree , nobody else is there until they are. Poachers, trespassers, neighbors hunting the line, neighbors guest that get turned around, etc etc, and while I don’t have the stats it sure seems like a lot of times people are shot by someone in their own party, and always the same story, this guy is so safe , he would never shoot at something he was not sure of, I have never heard it being that old arse was so unsafe I knew this would happen

I wear orange walking to/from deer stand. I’m technically suppose to wear it in the stand but rarely do

Bow season never

I'll never understand how this happens. I understand the mechanism, but the ability to pull the trigger when youre obviously not seeing clearly.

Yes always wear orange. I'm already drilling it into my 3 year old's head that he can't go in the woods without orange on. This was how my dad taught me as well.
