Use Idaho laws for safety

Well- here it is the end of November and the local weekly rag is putting in pictures of the 6 and 7 year old Superhumans with their 10 point bucks.Now this is a good one.This little guy used a 243 and killed the deer in his steps at 290 yards..Ain't like no 243 I ever used,but I forgot I'm not a superhuman.I said years ago just wait and see that every year the youth kill will go up.All that season does is give the Adults 4 more days hunting..Can not blame them in a way because of the MDC  super short gun season..Eleven days is pityful..Lets jam everyone to 11 days and see who gets shot..
  At least once again I was able to go to the great state of Idaho where again they had ZERO hunting accidents and HUNTER ORANGE is not worn and you will see at the most someone wearing a hat of Orange.Most of the hunters in Idaho are from out of state and Idaho gets 75 percent of its revenue from them.Licenses are high though.It just proves once again the wearing of Orange has nothing to do with safety.It just a way for the MDC people to sit on their ass looking for a reason to fine someone..First the Idaho season runs from the high country hunt in Sept all the way to the end of the general rifle season in November..Its not like Missouri where you can shoot anything that is not Orange.In Idaho you had better know your game.In the last few years they have made it a little more restrictive to the point where you must now buy your tag for either Muleys or whitetail..So that being said if you hunting anywhere in Idaho you will have to LOOK Hard at what you are shooting which makes it safer,but even more you have whitetail,mule deer,elk,antelope,moose bear and of course people.Also the game dept puts signs up on all highways in places that says all vehicles most stop for check even if you are not hunting,and you had better stop..There is usually one or 2 guys from the state and a handful of volunteers so checking is quick.
