The archery hunter who was shot by a muzzleloader hunter wasn’t required to wear the 500 square inches of orange that the muzzleloader hunter was required to wear. The Colorado seasons overlap and you only have to wear orange during a firearms season if you are hunting with a firearm. That's a law created by idiots. If there are rifle hunters in the woods in numbers such that blaze orange is required for them, every hunter in the woods should be smart enough to wear orange. In reading a posting regarding this event on another forum I got the impression the bow hunter was using a 2D bull elk decoy, but I am not sure my impression is correct. Given that this is an "on-going investigation" with charges filed, I don't think we will get the full story until after the trial, and I expect Co law will be changed before that happens.

It definitely sounds like the gun hunter knew he shot a man and just ran to me....

Every hunter in the woods should be smart enough to identify his target prior to pulling the trigger. Farmers lose livestock every year to unethical hunters because they aren't wearing blaze orange cow protection vests.

Third rule of gun safety here.
Always be absolutely sure to identify your target, and what lies in front of and beyond it.

Yep..Never heard anything about a elk decoy..When hunting with a elk decoy it is usually a cow elk during this time of year..There is a strategy in using a cow elk decoy..It takes two or more people besides the elk bow hunter to make it work..The bow hunter never works the decoy..It would make more sense to me if the story read that a man was shot by a muzzle loader hunter carrying a elk decoy in the woods..not the bow hunter...but then again these people are Non Residents in elk country so who knows...sad

Morosko is currently charged with criminally negligent homicide As he should be. The fool was old enough to know better. I wonder how many other hunters he shot at in PA. PA can be a scary place at times.

I think the theme should be…
Please be careful and identify your target.
Also, please be as visible as possible to other hunters. Even if you aren’t “legally” required to wear hunter orange (or pink). Please be safe and wear it even if not required.
Deer can’t see orange, but the people shooting at sound hopefully will.
Also, please wear a fall arrest harness whenever you are hunting above ground level.
Hunter safety rant over…. Well not really, I will always say something, it’s my second job.

Running guns and arrows together is a stupid idea that only a bureaucrat would think is a good one.

In Ky IF you archery hunt during a firearm season you have to wear the blaze orange vest and hat. Why should half the hunters have an orange vest on and the other half not ? It says a lot for western game laws lacking common sense. Bull calling hunter calling in another hunter. Georgia is pretty much the same. If a gun season for deer is in then orange must be worn by all, at all times, if hunting deer, bear or hogs. Does not apply if small game hunting on private land or if archery hunting on archery only WMAs. That's how it should be. In MN, if you're trapping during deer rifle season, you're a fool if you don't wear blaze orange. That's just good common sense. The same applies to a bow hunter during rifle season. They must wear blaze orange.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.
