It's my brother and his deer he shot yesterday... he posted it on the FB's and PETA libs flipped out calling it very unsafe hunting practice blah blah blah. We were walking off the mountain in an open field. We normally would flag the antlers with orange tape if it was in the timber.
Well.. safe or no? |

I wouldn't do it, personally.
People are really, really stupid. Like, stupid enough to "mistake" human-shaped animals, wearing bright orange, for deer, and shoot at them. |

I'd have about eight orange hats on the antlers. :)

Where's the rest?
What are they afraid of? You gonna poke your eye out? After reading the other responses I see where the "that is unsafe" crowd is coming from Not any more unsafe than walking without the antlers on your back. |

Not a big deal out west. Here in the tight-woods East during rifle season, bullets are flying everywhere and the hunters are often drunk....I'd have more orange on the animal.

People do that all the time around here. Maybe throw some orange between the antlers.

I wouldn't have felt comfortable like that. I'd probably have bought one of those super lightweight cheapo international orange mesh vests and draped the rack completely. I'd be a neon looking motherfucker comin' out of the woods. Years of hunting around rednecks has made me this way

I put my vest over the rack when I do that. Never underestimate the stupidity or over excitement of hunters in the woods.

Nope. Perfectly fine. Mostly "hunters" are too fucking fat to have hiked in where you are and have been of any danger to you. The ones that did....you probably don't have to worry about shooting at shit they can't identify.

See, the problem in that logic is that you said, "not a lot of bubbas" instead of there aren't any bubbas. All it takes is for one Elmer to Fudd before you start referring to your brother in the past tense. In that scenario there is way too much risk to not be flamboyantly orange while hoofing it back out. ETA: I'm trademarking/copyrighting the term "flamboyantly orange" now that I think about it. |

If that person was crouched down and someone saw them from behind.....they might take the shot. YIKES!
Maybe carry the head by the antlers separately? |

A square yard of blaze orange tarp over the antlers would make me flinch a bit less.

I would have tried to load it so the antlers were facing down with the tips pointing away from me (back towards where I was walking from)
You look far less deer like that way. |
