Anyone have more info on the revised blaze orange bill in NY. I read in the NY Outdoor News I got today that a revised blaze orange bill was proposed.

The story said 250 sq./in. of BO, solid or patterned and applies to deer and bear hunters using rifles, shotguns, revolvers and pistols.

I would like to know the bill numbers for this so I know exactly what the bill says and will mean for the NY gun season for deer next year for me.

It said in the story that Pataki has vetoed two blaze orange bills in the past. Those bills, according to the story, required 400 sq. in. of BO and I guess it was required for all hunters including turkey and waterfowl hunters where the game can pick up on the BO.

When deer hunting in NY, I always wear as a minimum a BO vest and hat on the ground whether I am just standing there or moving around. When up in the stand I try not to wear BO, but last year the only warm hat I wore was BO and cost me a deer because even though dear don't see as we seethe orange on brown, but the deer see it as something out of the ordinary.

IMO, I think the bill is good except I don't think it should be required if you are in a tree 10 or 12 ft. above the ground. I highly doubt if a hunter hears movement in a tree above him, he is going to shoot at the sound in the tree.

Again, if anyone could tell me the bill number(s) and feel free to comment.
