@@jeffp.Buff. Howdy Jeff. Yep, both are nice bucks. I hear you on the right set up to tan hides. I am set up and it is still a lot of hard work. A LOT of hard work.

But your State exercised a bit of common sense! And you wear what I wear mist of the time. Wool is THE fabric of choice for Winter. Long live Filson, Woolrich and Pendleton!
When I 1st started hunting here in Alberta, we had to wear either a blaze orange or red long sleeved coat as well as a hat.....About 1980 or so give or take a few years. the Alberta Government came to it's senses and did away with that rule......Some hunters still choose to wear orange, but it is strictly voluntary now. Love your channel Dennis.
I agree with you when it comes to that stupid orange West Virginia has the orange law to during gun season. That’s the only time we have to wear is during the rifle buck season and our nervous dose seasons like you and your brother I have a eye deficiency too, I’m legally blind Plus I’m color blind so I got double trouble when it comes to tracking a DEER but like you, I too take those high shoulder shots I like the bang flop that was a beautiful buck. Your brother got congrats to him and good luck to you with your Bucks skins
That's a really good buck. Tennessee requires 500 square inches of blaze orange. If people would stop shooting a bushes moving there would be no need for it. And I agree with you. The yellow and yellow/green colors would make more sense.
@@UncleSasquatchOutdoors Yes Uncle I know they do. I lived in Tennessee for years. My farm is only one mile from the Tennessee line. They just picked a number and went with it . Sounds like they actually put some research into it. But they didn’t. They did no scientific study at all. If they had done a little real research they would have arrived at the same conclusion that California and 10 other states did. And that is it has no effect at all on shooting accidents. The fact that they picked blaze orange proves they didn’t do a lick of research. They just went with what sounded good to them. How often do you see politicians give serious thought to anything?
I hunted a quota hunt on a state park here in Kentucky today. With the leaves off the trees blaze orange shows up good. You could spot hunters today from a mile away. But when the foliage is on, it’s pretty pointless.
It shows up to you but not to me. One out of every five hunters can’t see it. I am one of those. I can assure you, blaze orange is useless to me, and many others. It is a shame that those who make up laws often have no knowledge of what they are regulating.
@@davidwiggings6951 We need common sense for sure. Even California admits blaze orange doesn’t make any difference at all. Except in the minds of those who have been told over and over that it helps. Most hunters today grew up with that mindset.
When I was a younger deer hunter, there was no law to wear Blaze Orange! I can remember that there were many hunters shot every year because it was thought that many hunters would see something moving in the brush, and just shoot before identifying if it was a deer, or not. I remember when Blaze Orange was put into law, at that time it was called Ten Mile Cloth, due to the fact that it was recognizable up to ten miles away. Many people were saved by that color being worn. Even if you were color blind to that color, I think you would make an effort to see what you are shooting at. Personally, I don't like wearing Orange if hunting game that don't require it, but deer hunting I feel that it is a must. When that law was enacted, perhaps they didn't test, and evaluate this color, or today I'm sure they can determine if there may be another color that would work for 100% of deer hunters. This is just my opinion, and I don't mean too be harsh to hunters who would like to see Orange removed as a law. Dennis, I hope your brother finds that big buck! Be Safe, and God Bless!
@@davidbabin387 Thank you Sir for your thoughtful comments. And I certainly do not mean to be argumentative. But I have heard the same thing many times. “Blaze Orange Saves Lives.” Even Google says that. Yet there is no way to prove that. The states that do not require it ran studies that show that the wearing of it had no impact on the number of deaths. Even California came to the same conclusion. The one thing that has changed is, in the states that mandate it, the shooting death of one hunter by another is not sensationalized, as it once was. After all if there was in fact virtually no difference in the number of shootings, how could they justify their mandates. That ten mile cloth thing, that I remember well, was all the rage. So many states jumped on the band wagon with no proof whatsoever that it helped. We were fed a bill of goods. We were told that it reduced accidental shootings, but where is the proof? Just because some politicians say it is so, doesn’t make it so. If anything, a politician says it , it makes me doubt it. All I am saying is it was pushed by the media and politicians. They had, and still have no proof. Even California came, along with about 10 other states , to the conclusion that it doesn’t make any real difference. But if they say it often enough it somehow makes it true. The states that mandate it have no incentive to prove anything. I am like California, lord help me. Don’t just tell me something is so, offer me the proof. That should be easy enough.
This is only anecdotal, sorry, but my father was Game Manager III for California's Dept of Fish & Game for a while. He told me that California didn't require blaze orange on hunters because, although (in their study) it made other hunters easier to see, it didn't reduce their chance of getting shot. Doesn't speak well for hunters, does it?
@@JohnHjersman Thank you so much for sharing that. My point exactly.It might make others easier to see, IF, the ones doing “the seeing”, can actually see that orange. It can actually have the reverse effect. By a hunter not seeing a color that he is looking for, he MAY not try as hard to POSITIVELY identify his target. There is virtually no excuse for a hunter shooting anyone by “Mistake “. Identify your target before shooting. Don’t rely on seeing any particular color. It is actually rather hard for me to believe that California, of all places, would be one of the states that would admit the relatively useless mandating of blaze orange.
It's a representative republic. You are the government. If anyone feels strongly that laws need to be changed, the path to filing for candidacy for office is open. Throw your hat in the ring, state your positions forcefully and clearly, and see how many voters agree with you.
Personally I'd rather have 4 out of 5 people see me then none at all and the way people shoot at stuff without making sure of their backstop and beyond now that's just my opinion...but I'm all for whatever is safest ... perhaps they should do a study and reevaluate it and see what they come up with doin it with a more scientific approach
@@kartracer5g229 The point is two fold. Loosing our freedom for the sake of safety , and a false sense of safety to boot, is not worth it. As Thomas Jefferson said, anyone who is willing to give up their freedom for security or safety is destined to soon have neither. Blaze orange gives a false alarm of safety. Most hunters think everyone can see them. They feel safe just because they have on orange. Most hunters wear camo to keep from being seen, then put on some orange so that they magically can be seen. If you are going to wear a color that helps you to be seen then wear a color that nearly 100% of the people can see, and not 80%. That is just common sense. Do you remember when most police cars had red lights? Why do most now have blue lights? And why do most road workers now wear yellow instead of orange? Because of visibility. So if most of the public now use blue or yellow , why are hunters required to wear a less visible color in the name of safety?
Personally, I would rather the government FO and butt out of peoples lives. Restrictions placed on people under the guise of safety is a big problem in government that needs to be dealt with. There is far,far,far to much beurocratical nonsense in government and it needs to be cut back.
@@kartracer5g229 They DID pick pink!!! In many of these overly repressive states, including my state, Virginia, the communist state of Virginia, it is blaze orange or pink. Literally pink. But pink is still in the red spectrum and is still hard for those of us with that red-green deficiency to see. Why do we let politicians and bureaucrats dictate to us. They work for us. Not the other way around. If you are content to let your rights be eroded away, by letting politicians lord it over you, then for Petes sake at least insist on a more effective color. Just plain ole common sense. Something a lot of people don’t seem to have. Especially politicians.
@dennispritchardoutdoors7882 I see your point entirely.... I'd rather the 4 that can see me not shoot at me then none at all... trust I don't like government over reach anymore then any other hot blooded American does but as a 20+ yr first responder whom has seen the results of people not wearing orange and people not properly identifying what they are shooting at collide in catastrophe... to me it's a double edge sword... no safety past someone else common sense vs 4 of 5 people being able to see you and know not to shoot you... maybe I'm just seeing it through a different lense then most and can see the good and bad of it in real consequence... either way I hope you continue to safely make it out and back from your hunting adventures for Many many more trips to come sir

@@johnjackmax4313 I could care less what the deer see. I want the hunters to see. Blue is the best followed by yellow. If you are going to mandate a color then mandate a better color than orange.
