Wearing Hunter Orange Saves Lives!

In a study done from 1992 through 2001 in New York State, about 120,000 big game hunters did not wear Hunter (or Blaze) Orange during the regular firearms seasons for deer and bear. Of these, 18 hunters were mistaken for big game and killed. During the same time period of the study, approximately 580,000 hunters did wear Hunter Orange, and none were mistaken for big game and killed.

Idaho law does not require the wearing of Hunter Orange but it is highly recommended. It is a color not found in nature and most game animals cannot see the bright fluorescent color since they are colorblind. However, hunters wearing Hunter Orange can be easily seen by other hunters.
