It's all about what the regs say here and not really what you'd rather want to wear or not. Here in MN if there's a gun season going on.....it doesn't matter what you doing in the woods. Pheasant hunting, cutting wood, squirrel hunting, bow hunting, going on a nature walk.....you MUST have blaze on. And like someone else said....why wouldn't you want to wear it. Deer can't peg you on a tree stand wearing blaze, so why not wear it?
