Got 2 farms in the family, both in Bradford county. Hunted many season there in the 70's thru the 90's. As we always did some "drives", wearing orange was simply practical. Most of those years, buck and doe seasons were separate, which added another small element of safety.
As I seriously believe that orange makes not difference to deer, I have always worn it, living in NY. I see 1 or more clowns hunting in full camo every year. Don't hunt PA any more due to NY's long season, and generous allottment of tags.
Some years ago, I was hunting grouse behind my dogs. We came into an ancient apple grove and the dogs went on point. Not until birds flushed, and we started shooting, did an archery hunter, in full camo, in a tree stand, make his presence known. Scared the bejesus out of all of us. Made a serious impression.
People that insist they must be in full camo are just foolish, particularly when on public land.
