PA Game Commission to Ruin Flintlock Season?

[bldtrailer]

I will not hunt without hunter orange when others are in the woods hunting with long range weapons .

You must remember by law you with a weapon in your hand you are the responsible party to know what you are pointing at ,and beyond( legally stated as assault with a deadly weapon weather fired or not, merely pointing a loaded weapon at a person is aggravated assault)
26yr law enforcement 6yrs US Army Military police. I have learned it is better to prevent a tragic event then clean one up !

you cannot trust others to know what you are, But you can be dam sure what you are point a weapon at YOU ARE THE ONLY Safety

No bullet ,ball or arrow can be called back. safety on finger outside the trigger guard till you want to kill .

Explain the part that says,"unless engaged in lawful hunting or trapping"? I thought you wore orange everytime you hunt?

Well, you have to quote the entire sentence:
"...unless engaged in lawful hunting
or trapping that does not require the use of orange."

Not all hunting\trapping requires FO to be worn. Archery season it's not required. Flintlock season it's not required. Trapping no FO is required. Coyote hunting outside of any big game season....no FO required.

I've never worn either camoflage or orange stuff & years ago I was a Govt Deer Culler ,We did wear Puttees the idea was to stop river gravel getting in your boot tops but they where a pain in the rectum as they tended to unravel half way across a slip. Not one of them wore any but there regular shorts , 'Swanies' & rubber ankle boots with holes in to let the water in & out . your feet looked white & wrinkled at night but hasn't seemed to affect me 50 years or so later '.Swanies' where a NZ made wooly shirts 'Swan Dries ' is all we wore above the waist .
