Wearin' orange in rifle season?!

I've noticed on many hunting shows that guys are hunting with guns and not wearing orange! I'm watching a lope hunt right now from New Mexico and none of the guys have orange on.

Arethere a lot of states/hunt areas that don't require orange?
Or are these guys illegal!?

As far as I know, its a state regulated thing. In my state, they would not be legal.

Texas only requires it on public lands. Other states are similiar.

In Fl you must wear 500 sq ins of Hunters Orange!

Varies from state to state. I was in Wyoming recently and the law there was you had to have a blaze orange garment of some kind on. There was no specifics.

Kentucky is the same as Florida. It can not be the camoflauged orange either......solid! But even if it is not required it is probably as good of habit as wearing a treestand harness. I do not imagine an 06 round would feel good as it passed through you.

Not a requirement in NH.
