A $10 orange vest and $5 hat will meet your requirements for blaze orange.

Uncle Norby is giving you good advice.

You can view aerial maps of potential hunting areas for free online (google maps, terraserver, mapslive, etc.). Some you can print and definately use a map and compass if going into unfamiliar territory. Sounds like you may head out hunting alone. Make a plan. Plan your hunt and hunt your plan. Let someone know where you are going and when you should be out or reporting back in. Safety first!

Another consideration for eating up your $200 budget............ammunition for sighting in. Ammo eats up money fast so I wish you luck in getting sighted in quickly and efficiently.

Oh. And your wife? Buying you a nice rifle? Encouraging you to go hunting? She rocks!
