Over on a hiking thread - not affiliated with the Boy Scouts - People are pushing an addenda to wear hunter orange in the woods or fields... Some of you might find that interesting. Folks thousands if not a million hunters drive as fast as they can each fall to get out there... most of us are very careful and take the time to scope out and identify what we are about to shoot. Here in Pa there are very few accidents. Maybe from memory 6-11 per year happen in PA and some is self inflicted. One young kid locally shot himself in the foot when he tripped in the local park. Statisically you are safe in the woods provided you don't wear black in western PA and brown in eastern pa - most hikes are in designated corridors that are marked no hunting or in areas of a park that is off limits here... Lets face it some find spiders life threatening... Lets all run out and wear hunter orange to avoid spiders..... wow.
Here is the trigger that started the annual thread on the blog. Apparently California has done it again....
