Needs to be mandatory for all. If for no other reason than just plain saftey and courtesy. I hate like crazy when I' m scouting the place I hunt and come across an archer that is upset because I' m there. Can' t blame him I' d be upset too - however if he were wearing some blaze orange I would know he was there and I could then fully respect his hunt by NOT going in.

IMO there are only 2 reasons for NOT wearing blaze orange. Either you are hiding from a landowner or you are hiding from game officials(or both). Deer can' t see it - even up close so why not put it on. There are just no good reasons for not putting it on. That opinion is stated many times by Hunter Saftey Program Instructors.

I think it is an extremely small price to pay to fight poaching and trespassing.
