Although I have my kids wear orange I would not support it becoming a law.
And bells too. Because maybe some hunter will shoot thru brush at a noise. So orange would do no good in this case. Gotta have bells too.
One should always be sure of ones target!
We may never know but in the late 50's maybe early 60's a major study was conducted with regard to this and reported in an issue of Outdoor Life magazine. I have a copy of it somewhere and I could try to find it and scan a copy for posting but I remember the result of the study was blaze orange is the most unnatural color in the environment and IS noticed quickly by those who see it being worn by hunters in the woods.Personally I don't think hunter orange would have prevented this.

I was not debating your original point - believe me I totally agree with you. Unfortunatley poor hunting safety skills seem to be passed down and not necessairly learned by one's own volition - I observed this for many years as a Hunter Safety Instructor - especially when the parents attended the course with their children.My point was that anyone stupid enough to fire into a bush at an unknown target is probably too stupid to notice a small patch of orange
