Everybody has different opinions on safety just like Muzzleloaders. I think every state should wear orange in gun/muzzleloader season. Or at least put a orange belt around the tree.
WHY...So i can see you and don't shoot towards you. That's why i think a Orange hat or something should be used to let me know your 200yds across the field or creak bottom from me. Heck i would probably move if i saw you.
The Orange doesn't bother the Deer trust me. It's the movement that they notice. Be safe guy's, it's just not worth it any other way.

I disagree completely
I rather wear orange by choice, not be forced to wear it.
NY does not have a hunters orange requirement,
1 reason they dont have it is because NY has a high rate of hunters wearing orange voluntarily.
as a NY hunter i dont have to wear orange yet i wear it even when hunting my own land.

thanks ray i will give that a go this season! They really are proud of those wash detergents price wise!
i normally put my hunting clothes into a plastic bag and use one of those little discs that smell like dirt and seal it up. Works good for a couple days. After that i smell like ATV Exhaust LOL.

I used to use baking soda but now I use Sport Wash. Just a capful (1 oz) does an entire load of my hunting clothing. Then, even though I hunt the wind, I alway use Scent Shield. And several times I had deer so close I could have almost reached out and touched them.
As for the orange thing. I only wear it when required. And I too have not noticed any difference in deer detecting it. And I only hunt public land where there is considerable pressure.
