Hunter orange in Idaho?

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Is this required during rifle season? 

[HornHoarder]

no not required, but still a good idea if you dont want to get shot.

Not required but "encouraged."

I'm most likely going to ID since I had to buy the license to put in for hunts, anyway.  Unless I draw second chance some OTC unit.

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Yeah I think I'll still wear it, buy I didn't see any rules in the pamphlet so
Just wanted to be sure.

I hunt Idaho every year and wear it about 50% of the time. I always carry it in my pack and if I even THINK that someone is in the same area as I am I'll normally put it on.

With that being said, I never know with 100% accuracy if I am alone or not, I guess I just put it on when I feel that I might be mistaken for an animal. I do love the fact that I have the option though!

Sure would be nice to have the option here. Sometimes I'd like to just wear an orange hat. I feel that is enough orange since it's up high where it's more likely to be seen. I also would like to have the option of wearing a backpack and/or a raincoat over my orange vest at times. Problem is, I don't have an orange raincoat or backpack, and my orange vest will not fit over them. Oh well, I haven't been caught yet.

I never thought wearing my pack cut into the 400 sq in requirement!  Whoops lol.  I'll probably just wear a hat and make sure my vest is draped over the antlers ; )

[boneaddict]

I resent that rule much as I do the seatbelt or bike helmet.   Oh well.

[rasbo]

law or not I wear it,it should be an option..I get mixed feelings about this one...you could be in a ghille suit and not need to worry about me,our in animal skins and not worry.Im 100 percent sure before I shoot,but,well...you know

In indiana you just need a piece of orange that can be see from 360 degrees, we just get a bunch of cheep blaze orange caps before the season and good to go!

Not required, but I still wear it.  I LOVE the fact that it's not required.  If someone doesn't care the wear it, don't make them.

I have had people look at me through there scope in washington when I had a orange vest on. I hate wearing them more often than not people don't see you when wearing camo. I hunt in idaho every year and don't even take it with me when I go. And I would never wear it here if I could get away with it.

[bentley30-06]

I have hunted ID for the past 11 years and never once have I put it on nor have I ever felt endangered.  However to each his own.

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Really with all the regs on what you can shoot, someone should have done enough glassing before they pull the trigger to know it's not a human, really how do you mistake a 3 pt buck for a hunter?!
