I never wear orange--it scares the birds!
My previous message should have said "Saturdays" not "Sundays"

* there was a big foop when Sunday hunting was introduced in Ontario, some
time ago now, but I've never heard anything bad come of it in eastern
Ontario. I don't know about down near Toronto, where one might hypothesize
there'd be unskilled urban hunters who'd shoot at anything, though I suspect
that training courses have reduced the incidence of this.
One should wear something orange when one goes out during any hunting
season, and this would just mean putting on the orange hat or vest on Sunday
as well as the rest of the week.
Wildlife management folks understand Deer populations pretty well, and tend
to manage them for relatively big herds, so in areas without lots of Wolves
the hunters are naturalists' allies in trying to preserve the forests and
the plants the Deer would otherwise browse away.

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
