Covering my orange with my backpack?

[Chesapeake]

For the guys buying the stuff at the Craft store. You probably want to run it under a black light. I can almost bet its flooded with brightners.

While I'm pretty sure deer dont care about hunter orange, I'm also pretty sure they care about UV Brightners. Pretty sure anyway!

Ive been harassed in my walk-in unit for wearing my pack over my Orange. I and my wife were both warned if we wore the pack we had to have orange on it also. Yes the wardens do drive in walk in units to check people.I too have a badlands 2200 and the meat shelf is out for rifle deer season now!

I would say that the front of most vests will have 400 sq. inches of orange.  It's just up to you where you want orange and how safe you feel.  I wear a small vest and always wear my pack over it on my back but generally hunt private land with little or no others hunters so I feel safe that way.

ive got red hair (more orange colored tho) does that count

Must be above the waist.

 

Funny chit

400 inches is 20" x 20"square, Doesn't the regs say it has to be visible from all sides though?

Visible from all sides and above the waist.

I always wondered the same thing so when I got my bonus i just splurged a little and bought a orange pack and a camo pack. It is pretty cool.

What is this orange and camo pack you speak of?  I have a camo pack that has orange in it and when fully opened it is visible, but only from the side and when I'm packing an animal out.  I'd like to know what brand yours is.

Well it is not orange and camo I bought two different ones. One for archery and one for rifle. Here is a pic I just took. The belt strap has two compartments as well on each side.

I used an old orange camo vest and sewed parts of it to my pack with fishing line.  It was plum ugly.

I think it's funny when I go into JoAnnes and there's a bunch of old crusty guys buying yarn and thread for their fly tying.  I didn't even think of getting some hunter orange fabric there!

I carry an extra orange mesh vest that is super light, and safety pin it to the back pack.
Spend an extra few dollars on some orange and it might save your life, and protect your life.
