old rooster Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Not to worry.. the Americans are always shooting at each other.. on purpose mostly.. What pis*es me off is when they shoot our soldiers and then have the cheek to call it "friendly fire". Could we all contribute to a fund to get the guy to come over here and go out shooting for the day with our beloved Mr. B.Liar ? I've got some heavy loads of SSG he can use Always makes me chuckle when they wear all the clever cammo gear and a flourescent orange cap to go stalking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new to the flock Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 they wear flourescent orange because they do a lot of there hunting on state land, They wear florescent orange because it is required by law. The same holds true here in Canada. Most provinces you are required to wear orange some require you to wear white. Where I am you must have 300 square inches of uninterupted orange on your back and an orange hat for rifel and shotgun hunting, and for archery you must wear the orange on your way to and from the stand. Turkey shotgun you are advised to wear an orange vest to and from you setup. Waterfowl is exempt. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 as far as im aware NTTF there is no requirement of high viz clothing back home in England, it serves a purpose here and in the states, it maybe worth adopting a variant of the law there, could serve to save a few accidents.

new to the flock Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I agree, it is well worth wearing for safety reasons. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 There was an article in the mags a few months ago on "REALTREE BLAZE" camo. Bright orange break up pattern. I must admit to owning a realtree bush hat with orange lining that I would wear if safety was an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 as NTTF said the orange to be worn by archers/bowman to and from stands or hides, taken off whilst waiting, most of the bowman i know still retain the orange even at site, i guess the fear of mistaken identity holds firm, you just have to learn to hold still ....... longer .

henry d Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I got the Jahti jakt set and I use the blaze vest and hat. Some estates are using blaze flags too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 In the states you can even buy orange toilet paper so when in the woods wiping your backside you don't look like a white tailed deer :thumbs: Apologies to any of our north american cousins on here but hey you guys need all the safety stuff you can get. More likely to get shot by a fellow hunter in the woods than attacked by a bear! Friendly fire??? there's no such thing if there are any gung ho red necks around! And they've got the cheek to talk about the rag heads firing off kalashnikovs all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invector Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Reminds me of the husband and wife, in America, who went out hunting deer. He set her up in one place, while he went somewhere else. Later he heard a couple of shots and made his way to his wife`s hide. She was shouting at a man to leave her deer alone, and he shouted back,"You can have your deer back, just let me get the saddle off!" One farmer painted COW on the house cow when the hunting season started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 A colleague of mine used to be a policeman in the Manchester police - this was c.25 years ago. He got bored, and emigrated to Canada, and duly enrolled in the Canadian police - "The dress uniform clinched it, but it was a bit of a ****** as I was detailed to a small town near to the border with the US of A". One day he spotted a pick up truck, with the body of a cow in the back - the head was hanging over the tailgate like a trophy. Anyway, he stopped said truck, and found that the occupants were all-American type guys, who had popped over the border for a spot of stalking. They had heard that sport was good in Canada, and as it was their first hunting trip they wanted to be sure of taking something home. The conversation went like this: "What you got in the back boys?". "Biggest goddam deer we ever did see. Dropped it stoney with three shots at 50 yards". Now the above happened c.25 years ago, but it it just goes to show that one cannot be too careful when one goes shooting in the great outdoors.
