I'd support stricter hunter ed before I'd support mandatory blaze, if you're too stupid to identify your target before firing you're too stupid to be in the woods with a weapon
I believe that sums up my feelings on the issue as well.

During archery season here in PA we are not required to wear it unless there is an overlap with small game or muzzleloader seasons and then basically only when we walk to or from our stands. That makes sense to me but I can see how archers that still hunt may have a problem with it.

Would I be in support of more blaze orange use during archery?

No, I wouldn't.

For gun season in WI it is the law. No way around it. However I always wear a blaze orange hat in and out of the woods for bow hunting or even scouting. I never use to but then I hear all the horror stories about trespassers on private property. I hate the color but better safe then sorry.

I don't wear it during any season unless I'm bow hunting in a gun area. Other then that, what's the difference between me wearing blaze orange and the hikers walking below me while I'm hunting?

By law, you only have to wear it during general season here in Texas, IF your on public property, IF you are on private property, you DONOT have to wear it anytime....

I agree with the current law.....
