Post by: ghosthunter on September 19, 2018, 09:55:27 PM: Yep

I wear orange camo and a orange long sleeve shirt because it has lots of pockets.
The only place I don’t wear it is if I am in my ground blind than I wear black or camo.

I really don’t think makes any difference at all.

Post by: mikelonsford on September 19, 2018, 10:31:03 PM: I’ve only muzzy hunted a few years when I draw the multi season for elk. I hadn’t worn it but at one point was really wishing I had. I had found a dry bed on a wet day that looked like a huge elk. I bugles and buckled and felt he was right there. Then I heard the onslaught of hoochie mama’s from all sides and knew the hunters were coming for me. I waited until they were close and whistled at them but before that I was a bit afraid to move much. They told me they had seen a 5 point a minute or 2 before and figured I was him calling. I wear it when required but I was nervous without it that day.

Last year I had some *censored*s intentionally try and mess with my first set up. It's hunting on land with public access you get all type.

Post by: steeleywhopper on September 20, 2018, 01:49:25 PM: I wear an orange hat in “Any deer” areas when muzzy hunting. There are idiots out there that shoot first check target later and I want to lessen my encounters with those type folks.

Post by: reelamin on September 20, 2018, 03:37:20 PM: I carry an orange hat....put it on if we are teaming up on a stalk so others in group can quickly see where we are. Otherwise no.

Post by: Sabotloader on September 20, 2018, 04:21:19 PM: ya, I still do a little bit... I wear blaze camo shirt but I wear a vest of some sort, depending on the temps. Anyway so my arms have color and normally my cap but the rest is all a green camo of some sort...

Post by: Tbob on September 21, 2018, 08:22:30 PM: Good to know, thanks guys.. I might grab an orange hat just to be safe. I’ve got a vest and orange panel I’ll bring along for packing anything out.

Post by: usmc74 on September 22, 2018, 08:16:34 AM: Years ago, I was bowhunting wearing all camo. Two guys set up at the end of the valley, and started shooting centerfire rifles at stumps (my direction). I walked out on the road that wound past them, and had a "talk" with them. Now I always carry some blaze orange with me, so I can put on, or signal my hunting buddy, as needed
