Scott,
Hope this finds you well and getting ready for the up coming season. I am looking forward to your shows as always, I find them very informative as well as entertaining. I have a question, why is it that you never wear any hunter orange, when in every other upland bird hunting show I have seen, the wearing of hunter orange is recommended and in some cases required for safety? I look forward to your reply.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reminder of blaze’s importance… and the compliment. I got the message and you’ll see plenty more this season, believe me. I always wear the legally-required amount when mandated, but don’t make a big deal of it. I will go beyond that
Even Buddy will be sporting more orange this fall on the show!
in the new episodes starting this fall, hopefully serving as a better example to viewers, especially young ones.
We try to strike a balance on the show, with high definition cameras orange is difficult to work with – technically and visually. Your eyes are actually distracted by it. Editors hate it. We have to meet very strict technical standards to be on NBC Sports/Versus, including a bunch of color balance/frequency issues that other shows don’t really care much about. Orange wreaks havoc with them!
But we are working it out – thanks to great editors like Tad Newberry, that is.
Best,
Scott

Blaze Orange just gaining popularity in Europe, I personally like it and support it, when we have large number of beaters and dogs at present, I buy the low cost blaze orange hats for my beaters so every hunter can see them. This is specially important when you have low flying birds and beaters, dogs, could be in danger. Bill from Hungarian-Hunting
If I was a beater I’d be wearing orange everything! How about “rough” shooters, just walking around in the woods, Bill?
