I’m looking at the new hard copy 2021 spring season booklet and see no mention of this.

When hunter orange and/or hunter pink clothing is required
For anyone hunting bear, bobcat, cougar, coyote, deer, elk, fox, grouse, hare, rabbit, raccoon, or turkey in an area that is open to hunting for deer or elk during a modern firearms season. This includes archers and muzzleloaders when they hunt in areas (e.g. game management units, deer areas, elk areas, wilderness areas) that overlap modern firearm seasons.
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

ok,good.i just went over the rule meeting and it said they got 15 peoples comments 8 were for it 5 against it and 2 were not sure.(as if only 15 commented) but it went on to say they voted it in knowing that turkey can see the orange and pink but they were voting for safety over harvest numbers.

What is this all about?

Only for fall turkey season and only during general modern firearm seasons.  Not during special hunts that fall outside of the general moxern firearm seasons ir during masthunter seasons outside of general modern firearm season.  Bob is right this was done in 2019.
