+Bergie Bunch Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Tomorrow starts archery season in ALL of Allegheny Co., Lehigh, Berks, Bucks, Montgomery,Chester, Lancaster, York, Lebanon Counties and parts of Butler, Beaver, Washington, Westmoreland, Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Deleware, and Northampton. These counties have a 2 week head start on the rest of the state. Please be aware of your surroundings, and wear you orange and bells. I have already found 1 cache this year placed directly under a tree stand. Lets all have a good time and be safe. And Happy hunting to cachers and hunters alike. Quote Link to comment

RV'n Iowans Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Good reminder, Bergie! Had an incident in our area this week; One hunter accidentally shot and killed his best friend. After calling 911 and leading authorities to the scene, the shooter then turned the gun on himself, commiting suicide. When planning to cache anywhere where there's even a remote chance of hunters being around, for Heaven's sake wear BLAZE ORANGE Quote Link to comment
+Bergie Bunch Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 I dont usually push a product, and I am not here, but this hat is the BEST hat i have seen. I wear it for traffic details for the Fire Departement, and also for hunting. Puts the standard blaze orange to shame!! The YELLOW is also awsome. I have both. http://www.ergodyne.com/productdetail.aspx?id=390 Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Stick with orange, however, if you're geocaching on state lands open to hunting (including State Game Lands). The regulations require wearing 250 square inches of flourescent ORANGE material (not yellow) on the front, back and head combined. Having seen a member of my hunting party cited for not having an orange hat, while he was wearing an orange jacket and pants, I have no doubt that an equally zealous game warden would write a ticket for wearing a yellow hat instead of an orange hat.

magellan315 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Personally I prefer to use the old Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny routine of confusing the hunter by arguing whether its duck season or wabbit season. Edited September 26, 2008 by magellan315 Quote Link to comment

+brian b Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 maybe we can send all the CEO's of all the banks into PA with deer skin jackets . . . . and while we are at it, we can put all the NPS and ATC people responsible for all our archived caches out there with them . . . just a thought Quote Link to comment

+Bergie Bunch Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Yeah Paul I love the orange for hunting, but for traffic details the yellow is great. Also goes well with the clipboard and vest when you are in a high muggle area and want to be ignored, and it beats a hard hat. Edited September 29, 2008 by Bergie Bunch Quote Link to comment
