BLAZE ORANGE.

[FLIZZ]

Just curious if anybody has, or knows anyone who has been cited for not wearing enough. Of course I'm not going to blatantly break the law, I JUST HATE BLAZE VESTS.  I'm just curious if I were to hypothetically just wear a blaze hat, gloves, and about 100 square inches sewn onto my pack if a gamey would actually cite me.

west side modern fire btw.

I doubt you'd get cited for that. You've got the orange, just maybe a little less than required by law. Kind of like driving 60 in a 55 zone.

Don't take my word for it though, as I have almost zero experience with game wardens. I just never see them in the woods.

The orange is so you dont get shot... i personally dont want to get shot

Solid blaze ball cap, 6x4 square on my chest, 8x3 square on my back, solid blaze gloves. If I get shot then someone has it out for me. 

I respect your point though!

I wear the Columbia ptarmigan jacket when hunting birds and and orange cap, probally less than 250 square inches and haven't  had anything said to me yet.

I would prefer to wear as little as possible.  My orange vest is perforated nylon type that I really like.  I normally wear a backpack and it covers up my whole back if I am walking.  Sometimes I put a wadded up orange vest on the back of my pack.  Talked with a warden while I was wearing my pack and he didn't mention anything about it.  It would really ruin my day to be shot by some idiot though, so maybe I should wear more.

What you are suggesting is that  you are going to wear about half the amount of Hunter Orange that is required by law and hoping that a wildlife officer will accept it as legal. It depends on what officer you meet and his particular standing on this is; they have some leeway in their enforcement and I wouldn't want to test it by way of a ticket.  Isn't your safety worth something, but as you said, it's your choice to make.

I like that I can see other hunters with there orange on from very far away, helps keep me from getting shot and from pissing someone off for walking through their spot. I have an orange vest with a black camo pattern worked into it. While wearing it I have been standing in the middle of the road and had deer walk within 25 ft of me so I don't think it makes me stand out anymore to the deer, just extra security for not getting shot.

It must be at least 400 square inches, visible from all sides.

Nike time.

One of the reasons I got into muzzleloader, no blaze required

orange isn't so you don't get shot.  if that were the case, you'd have to wear it hiking or walking your dog.  orange just makes it easier for the gamies to see you and know who to contact.

What a horses a**.

The only reason it is required is for hunter safety.

My brother was wearing similar clothes the OP mentioned.
When we arrived at our truck, the gamie told him he was in violation.
Since he had an orange sweatshirt in his pack, he got a verbal warning.
