RE: Blaze orange
i too HATE wearing it. exspecially once the leave drop. i dont care if deer cant see orange or not. you stand out like a big orange idiot 25foot up in a tree. it messes with my mind and confidence if nothing else.
on the other hand i live and hunt in PA. needless to say i wear it..just hate it. i even wear more than required alot of times. tooo many other hunting seasons in our archery season. when i dont have to keep it on(allowed to be removed when stationary as long as 100sq inches is displayed) i hang my hat up in the tree and wrap my vest around the tree. when i do that i dont feel so bad..but know im still visible to hunters. though i dont know. one day i did that. hat hung as high up above me as possible and vest wrapped and zipped up around the tree above my head so its visible 360 degrees i had a squirrel hunter come and sit down within shooting range of me! he never knew i was there till i grunted just to see his reaction. that time of the season i wasnt required to display any on stand. another time i was climbing in my vest and hat. i look over the gas line and a turkey hunter walks over and sits down. i keep climbing. he looks and stared at me for the longest time. he watched me for 15 minutes. called for a while..watched me some more and then left. those are some good reason WHY i wear it or display it. i dont know how you can miss blaze orange 20 foot up in a tree..
