It is not required for spring bear.
Nope....like the others said. However, I usually wear some color in the form of a hat. Don't wanna get shot.
I like the idea of tagging a branch or something when doing the knife work. If you think about it...being all hunched over and basically right on top of the animal you are less likely to be seen cleary by someone that may have their scope on you and is only seeing the bear.

If you don't know about whether you need orange, there are other things you don't know. Please read and re-read the regs so you do. I have no problem with questions, especially if regulations are unclear and often, they are and I'm the one asking. But not knowing the regs if you're going hunting may indicate a lack of respect for your quarry and can put our sport in a bad light when infractions are made public.
I carry two bright hunters orange handkerchief's - when I go into a 'reduced' visibility area I will tie one on my hat or pack or both...
