Would a vest and an orange hat be enough to meet the 400 inch requirement??

A vest alone meets the proper reguierments,the book says " 400 sq. inches of VISIBLE Orange" you can wear the hat if you wan' t.

BBJ,

That is what I figured. I' ll probably go with a vest too for safety reasons. Thanx for responding and good hunting to you...

some parts of montana they consider red plaid to be orange, dusk n dawn can get real confusing, but that is why we use binos right.

When I hunt on public land ANYWHERE during any rifle season, I always wear a solid orange vest and cap. It won' t scare game, so why would you consider NOT using it?

I hate thet orange stuff. Be a better world if we didn' t have to use it. Think, enuff land so nobody sees another hunter all season long. No dumb asses poppin' off at game they cain' t see, let alone hit with a bullet. No ATVs makin' new trails an' cuttin' down on the places game goes to git away from pressure, pushin' the game out of entire areas instead of jus' movin' ' em around. Be a fine world ' thout blaze orange, yessirree.

When I hunt in Minnesota, I always wear a blaze jacket, hat, and often time pants too. The woods are thick and it' s public land so you never know what you' ll encounter in terms of hunters and some are just plain on the short end of the gene pool. I planned on going with a vest and hat out there but just wanted to make sure that was enough. Thanx for the responses...
