This little blog in a way has nothing to do with Missouri like many other states,but what it does is let the other states "copy"each other..Meaning the MDC says "hey they are doing it in this state so lets do it here...
Back in 1979 in Washington state- Game and fish put out an ad for someone to conduct a study on What was called "color visability in the woods for safety"..Seemed innocent enough..Well the people that got the contract had access to a large ranch and was able to get at least 16 college volunteers to help..The ranch area had leafy(deciduous )trees in the valley-sagebrush wide open going up the mountain and evergreen forest near the top and that pretty much covered many types of terrain..
The students were sent along established routes and swapped back and forth so all would be able to cover the area...The students were given different color hats and vests..and at the end of 2 months just before hunting season the results were put together and presented to Game and Fish..#1 most visable color was WHITE--#2 color was BLUE--#3 was YELLOW or ORANGE..
But the most interesting part of the whole study was at the end when they had all the students together to give them their pay they also had a roundtable discussion..some of the students looked at their results and said "if this study is for safety maybe the best thing to wear is "Camo"for it seems over 60 percent of the time the students did not see each other in the woods..As one of them said "hey if they can,t see me they can,t shoot me..Interesting thought..
The rest is very interesting reading but lets get to the point..
Wa Game and fish then came out in the papers telling about an extensive study that recommends hunters wear Orange and Game and Fish will impliment it..That whole study was just a RUSE...
The people were outraged and most of all the people who done the study were mad as hell because they were used..and it was never recommended...Game and Fish would not retract what they said- so even under threat of a lawsuit they gave the study to the Seattle times and all hell broke loose...So Game and Fish just to calm things down fired the head of their Public information Dept head...Poor guy ..No-- not quite..The next year he was hired by Idaho Game and Fish and has been feeding the people the same type of crap and is due to retire with a huge pension...You ought to hear some of the garbage he feeds people on those wolves they jammed down the peoples throats...I,ve been going to Idaho for 30 years so my information is first hand ..The moral to this story simply put is Game and Fish are accomplished liars in all states and John Q Public needs to question EVERYTHING they say...
I would dearly love to get the web site going,but I really think people are afraid of retaliation...and thats sad,because people you are supposed to be their BOSS not the other way around..So if you are sitting on your ass waiting for the other guy to do it I have some news for you--YOU are the other guy......
