Wearin' orange in rifle season?!
 
I've noticed on many hunting shows that guys are hunting with guns and not wearing orange! I'm watching a lope hunt right now from New Mexico and none of the guys have orange on.

Arethere a lot of states/hunt areas that don't require orange?
Or are these guys illegal!?

As far as I know, its a state regulated thing. In my state, they would not be legal.

Texas only requires it on public lands. Other states are similiar.

Varies from state to state. I was in Wyoming recently and the law there was you had to have a blaze orange garment of some kind on. There was no specifics.

Kentucky is the same as Florida. It can not be the camoflauged orange either......solid! But even if it is not required it is probably as good of habit as wearing a treestand harness. I do not imagine an 06 round would feel good as it passed through you.

In Saskatchewan Canada regulations for a rifle season are: full outer suit soild colours consisting of or in combination of: Orange, Yellow, Red or White. Headwear must be: Orange, Yellow or Red.

Camo can only be worn in Bow and ML season for biggame hunting.
