Easy. I should be the only person allowed to hunt. Not only will there be zero people shot...all the animals will be safe too.

I used to wear orange, found that I attracted too much attention from passing hunters. I actually started wearing camo now.

LOL, that is why you wear orange, so hunters can see you and for the 99.99% of hunters who don't have the IQ of a turnip, it prevents them from shooting at you or in your direction.

And yet people wearing orange still get shot. And the number of accidental shootings didn't suddenly increase significantly when the hunter orange requirement was dropped in Alberta. Would you care to explain that?

99.99% of hunters don't wear orange.
Are you saying that your IQ is higher than the rest of us?
I for one am sceptical.

The requirement was dropped in Alberta because a lot of hunting takes place in mixed use areas, so hikers, fishers, skiers etc would be at a supposed disadvantage if they didn't color up.

That makes sense. There should be equal opportunity for hunters to get shot too. Skiers and joggers are harder to hit though.......more sporting imo.
