Once confirmed this is an option.
It's against the law to point a rifle at another person. Hunting regulations require we identify the target before aiming at it. This is why they sell binoculars in hunting supply stores.
Orange blaze is supposed to make us more visible. But no guarantee you still won’t be shot.

Motorized orange moose! Blaze unfortunately doesn’t stop some clowns from taking a closer look via the barrel of their rifle.
These peckerwoods scoping folks have no respect for the law, safe handing of firearms, and no respect for hunting regulations. Why would you trust them not to pull the trigger? They’ve proved pretty untrustworthy up to this point.
You never know what a person pointing a firearm at you is intending to do. I see a rifle pointed at me as a lethal threat and suspect I will respond with lethal force. The law does not require you to be shot before you defend yourself. I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Maybe if a few more of these clowns realized that scoping other hunters might result in a couple of rounds in the chest they might take the plunge and start using binoculars to identify targets.
