I was in my bow camp early September. It was next to a popular hiking trail a couple miles from the road. Mid day hunt break.
I heard voices, went out next to the trail to see who was there.
Two bear hunters in orange, packing rifles. I was going to say hi, but one raised his rifle at me, so they got a loud “Don’t point that fucking gun at me”. I had a black stocking cap on, and this idiot saw black and thought bear. He never got his gun all the way up, but close. We had a discussion of target ID. Close call for sure.
I don’t agree with the possibility of a rule change, but I’ve always kept some orange in my pocket (bandanna) to wear walking in the open, just didn’t think about it in camp. I’ve always worried about the bear hunters.
