Ya know Skyline..that's a point werth "arguin"...so to speak.
Lemme tell ya right off the git-go that Lilred is guilty as charged on doin the very thing I'm fixin to go off about.

We are so used to lookin fer blaze orange that he guy who is not wearin it goes unnoticed. Fer example...bout 10 years ago I was walkin REAL slow to a stand. I took bout 2 steps...stopped..looked..listened and took another 2. I was bout 15 yards from the fool when I spotted him...hunched in a small ditch by a huge fell over oak. Iffin I hadnt been really lookin hard around the area...I woulda never saw him. And iffin there woulda been a buck standin there 50 yards back, I woulda shot. Funny thing was, I dont know iffin he knew I was there er not either, I'm sure he heard me...I dont think I'm that good at bein quiet. He mighta thought I was a wary deer, but he never looked my way. Well..he could have...but common sense would tell you...iffin yer huntin illegally with nary a bit of blaze orange on and you see somebody stalkin in yer direction...then I would dam well let them know I was there! Illegal er not!
Iffin yer that stupid..then natural selection takes over.

But that learnt me to never take fer granted that everybody wears blaze orange....cause they dont. I dont reckon I can prove that this sorta thing is the cause fer most huntin accidents but I think that this is the cause of a few. We caint git lazy-eyed.
