RE: Why won't they wear orange???
why would you mistake them for a deer and consider shooting them.
Not that I would mistake them for a deer but that they could be in the line of fire and I would not know it.

I would never do something like this and would never suggest that anyone do it.......but if they have a close call or think they did, they might have a change of heart. I've been in the woods as a teen when someone shot and the sound of that round cutting the air is something you don't forget. Last year I was stalking thru the swamp on some public land and I heard a rifle fired very close to me. I never saw who fired it but you couldn't have hammered a nail up my but for about 15 minutes.

FYI: I wear a solid blaze orange vest and cap whenever I hunt, whether or not the state requires it. It doesn't spook game!

PA Bowhunter, I am pretty sure the responsibility would rest with the person who fired the shot but I don't think that would be much condolence to you if you were the one to receive the bullet.
In all honesty Steve, I would take some video of the folks in question and then take it to the local Game Warden Office. If that does not get them off of their butts then I don't know what will. I would feel that I had done my part even if the game wardens didn't follow up on it.
