Blaze orange on MCC?

[FISHNFRANK]

I’m an MCC member. Some zones get poached/trespassed more than others, they’re basically like hunting public land. Others are more secure. Time and experience will let you know which ones. Generally I’d say no but if you’re uncomfortable - wear it. Obey the rules, be ethical and there shouldn’t be any problems.

A lot of idiots will just shoot at movement and then look to see what they shot at. I almost always wear orange for the walk in and walk out, just a ball cap. Oh, and my sitting pad is orange and clipped to the back of my pack.

Also a story, a couple of years ago a friend and I were hunting somewhere up on Palomar. We had settled into a natural hide when we saw another hunter come into the area. We waved to him to let him know where we were and he brought his rife up and pointed it at us! I think he might have taken a shot but fortunately I carry an orange bandana in my pocket (for this very reason) and waved it at him. No shots were fired but to this day I have no idea what that f-ing idiot was thinking.

I live and hunt up on Palomar. Public land is pretty dangerous up here. I was swept by a guy with a rifle/scope a few years ago hunting private land and he was on public. Hunters should never use a rifle scope as a spotting optic but a lot of idiots do. And Palomar is chocked full or idiots and outright poachers/ road shooters during public seasons.

Probably he didnt have binos and looked throught the scope.

Not just Palomar most public land is unless you get way back in where they won't go

He had binos. He likely spotted movement and it was faster to look through his scope.
