Semp and all those concerned about hunter orange.   I had it on going to stand, while on stand, but not when the pictures were taken.  I don't think that is against any law, hunting or otherwise.    On top of those facts, the farm I was hunting on is locked gates and the owner and I have the only keys, and there was no deer hunting going on within five miles of his farm, as there are too many houses in that area.  The people have a little boy about 6 years old and a daughter who is about 4 years old, and they had witnessed a pair of coyotes killing a fawn deer about 100 yds from the back of their house, from their second story bedroom window.  The little girl nearly had to be sedated from the trauma she felt watching Bambi killed by the big bad wolf.  All this led to this man and woman getting in touch with Possumal, the dragon slayer, so to speak.  They had to lock up their two doberman dogs for me to hunt at all.  Race horse farm on one border, with no shooting in that direction or near to that fence.  Another $600,000+ house to the opposite side of their home about 1/4 mile down the road so no shooting in that direction, and of course, no shooting towards the owner's house.  Crunchy ice over snow to make the sneaky part harder than normal, but I figured out a way with a little Possumade, a cousin to Gatorade, and drew him into a particular spot and did the dirty deed.  Now to figure out how to get his two or three buddies who live there too, probably under his neighbor's barn.   

You said what I would have said if I were in the same position.  

At the distances you shoot coyotes, they don't have a chance to see the orange any how.

Semp, I can't wear that cursed orange too much, you know.  It makes me break out in a real bad rash.  You understand I know, with me bleeding blue and the "Big Orange" just across the border not too far from you.      Now don't you Tennessee boys get your scivvies in a tangled knot, as I am just poking a little fun your way.  Coach Cal's kids will poke their brand of fun into the boys in orange a little later on in the year.  I hope, I hope, I hope.
