well then glad for the information ,thank you , rather its right or wrong good attorneys can change verdicts it just takes money. O.J. Simpson got off on the murder charges ???? the part of bowhunter wearing
legal camo instead of orange and the muzzle loader season over lapping seasons and muzzle loader are required to wear orange . its a terrible mistake and a man was shot and died but it is not a open and shut case ,Colorado will need to make some kind of change in this rule / law for safety . one of the 1st question of 1st day is going to be by defensive attorney : did you know bowhunters could legally wear camo during the beginning of the muzzle loader season when you are required to wear orange on legally ? next question did you have orange on ?
pete, if you read the article I linked you'll see that there's a link for a related story on the Colorado Wildlife Commission's recent meeting where they already considered a change to the regs for bowhunters wearing orange during the overlapping season, and they voted 11-0 against it, because:
"bowhunters were overwhelmingly against the recommended new regulation that would have required them to wear fluorescent orange or pink in the overlapping season on public lands west of Interstate Highway 25. The wildlife commission did not want the change, either, and voted 11-0 to table the issue.
“Our constituents don’t want it, why change it,” said wildlife commission member Marie Haskett. “Every letter and email said, ‘do not do it.’”As far as the questions you quoted above, they're irrelevant. They don't negate the fact that it's the shooter's responsibility to identify his target before he pulls the trigger. Plenty of guys don't wear orange during the rifle seasons. If you shoot one, "they weren't wearing orange" is not a defense.
And once again I'll ask, what could the hunting partner possibly be guilty of?
