They require just a single hunter orange article. A hat is sufficient to satisfy the law.
Everyone has something to teach, so listen up

Cool thanks. Orange vest it is. Glad to know it's not a "you must wear a hat and a vest is not a substitute" sort of state. Nothing required at all in NM & Az but I wear it anyway. Too many yay who's out there with a rifle.

A single article of fluorescent orange is required.  A buddy got a ticket for wearing a Sitka orange jacket which apparently was not fluorescent enough.  Plus he didn't have his WA hunter ed card on him so f&g hammered him.   Good luck!

CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS

All big or trophy game hunters must wear a hat, shirt, jacket, coat, vest, or sweater of a fluorescent orange color in a visible manner. Licensed archery hunters during the special archery seasons, and licensed archery hunters hunting in limited quota archery only or limited quota archery or legal muzzle loading firearm seasons are not required to wear fluorescent orange. The wearing of fluorescent orange clothing while hunting small game and game birds is recommended as a safety measure and is required when hunting pheasants on department wildlife habitat management areas (a pheasant management stamp is also needed when hunting these department management areas).
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Is there an age requirement?  I'm "of age" not to need one in WA

"No person born on or after January 1, 1966, may apply for and receive any Wyoming hunting license, nor take any wildlife by the use of firearms on land other than that of his/her own family, unless the person possesses and can exhibit a hunter safety certificate."

The last time I hunted in Wyoming, if your an OUT-OF-STATE hunter you have to have a hunter ed. card regardless of age. It only take a minute to call them. The judge don't care what folks say on here.

:yeah:  Non-Res must have a card; except you can do a one time Mentor year. The mentor must have a card and be with the hunter at ALL times. You must have a form signed by both parties in in your possesion. I was always asked for my card before my tags/license.  :yike:

I had 2 different Wardens tell me that the orange flag built into my pack was sufficient.  :twocents:     Other than that I always wore a hat

The law Bob posted is what was current when I worked for WY G&F.  Nonresidents born BEFORE 1/1/1966 did not require a hunter safety card. 

Deke, the ones I worked with would have written you if you didn't have a hat, shirt, jacket, coat, vest, or sweater of a fluorescent orange color in a visible manner.  I knew Casper area wardens to write hunters with a hood over their orange hat (no orange visible from the back), an orange camo hat that was faded and no longer fluorescent, a guy wearing only orange gloves, and a guy who had an orange bag on his head that fell off while he was crawling after antelope (that last guy also blew a 0.16 BAC at 11am, so he had a few other problems too).
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
