Well said Ryan, so few understand .....sadly.



Ah, yes. Self-indulgence masquerading as aestheticism.

Those of you offended by wearing orange, who then choose to not wear it, will be happy and secure in the knowledge that your aesthetics, taste and experience were not impeded or offended in the least by the ugly orange that might have saved your life. unfortunately, those of us who survive you will have to deal, not only with the opprobrium of having shot someone, but also the possibility of jail, license suspension, lawsuits, and confronting the question of whether we ever want to hunt again given that someone died (assuming the law even allows one to possess a gun again after such an incident).

But, dammit, you had your aesthetics intact and unmolested. Make sure it's on your headstone, ok?
