Why You Should Wear Hunters Orange
Hunters Orange Is very important when hunting. It shows other hunters that you are not an animal and to not shoot you. I believe hunters orange is very important for Dove, pheasants, quails, and turkeys. Turkey hunters are more prone to shoot first before actually knowing what it is. If you wear camo and move around another hunter might mistake you for a turkey and then proceed to shoot you. It has happened many times. If you wear hunters orange, even a vest, then you will stand out just enough so another hunter wont 't mistake you for a turkey. I myself only hunt Black tail deer and do not wear hunters orange. I feel that it is not important to wear hunters orange when hunting deer. Most of the time you are a significant distance away from the deer so most of the time you are not in immediate danger from other hunters.

In 1825, percussion cap guns are in general use. Back action lock appears is 1830 and five years later, in 1835, the first Colt revolver was made. Samuel Colt revolutionized guns and made the most practical pistol, the Colt revolver. Guns were forever changed by Samuel Colt and his amazing inventions.
