blaze orange?
i'm hunting turkey on public land and i'm wondering if i should where orange or not. It's not the law here for turkey, but i want to be as safe as possible. Is wearing orange not good while turkey hunting?

I wouldn't... they make a marking tape that you can wrap around the tree above you to mark that your in the area.
Most vests also come with orange flags sewn into them so that you can walk around with some orange out as you traverse the woods.

I agree with kingvjack, use some blaze orange on the tree, not yourself. I talked with a guy that hunts public land a lot, he took a piece of cardboard cut into the shape of an arrow, sprayed it blaze orange, and just uses a thumb tack to pin it to the tree. I guess he uses this even for bowhunting just so people know where hes at. Turkeys have great eyesight, check out this article: http://www.huntingnet.com/articles/article_detail.aspx?articles_id=558
