Because I am an avid hunter, and I spend many, many days hunting in PA throughout the year, and I have pretty much never once seen anyone hunting small game anywhere even remotely close to a stream that I would fish. If we are talking about rifle deer season, then hell yeah, stay out of the woods. Don't even fish. Fishing then is just plain stupid. But for the spring turkey season and for general seasons when small game is in, I see hardly any potential of being shot or injured while fishing by a hunter. There are just hardly any small game hunters out there anymore. I am not saying that wearing orange is a bad idea. It is a very smart idea to wear orange during any and all hunting seasons, but I think if the angler is willing to take the risk, which I perceive as extremely low, let them have at it. After all, how many fishermen have been shot by hunters in the last 100 years? And, it is only on game lands, which leaves all state forests out from under the ruling.
