When I’m sitting in my deer blind and not seeing anything it gives me plenty of time to think about all kinds of weird stuff. Tonite, while not seeing anything, a question came to mind. Am I required to wear hunter orange when it is before or after legal shooting hours (morning and evening) ?
As I was walking back to my truck it was completely dark. There was a 3/4 moon, but the clouds had that pretty well hidden. I was wearing an orange sock cap as my only piece of hunter orange clothing outer clothing. I did also have a hunter orange shirt on but it was covered by my coat. I was wondering if, while packing up to leave, I absent mindedly stuffed the sock cap in my pack before hiking out and then had no hunter orange outwardly displayed.
Technically, I wouldn’t be hunting since it would be after legal hours to do so nor should anyone else be hunting. Thus, I shouldnÂ’t be in danger of getting shot since no one would/should be shooting and, in theory if pitch dark, no one would even be able to see me. Wondering if a CO would write me a ticket for failing to display hunter orange ?
Sure hope I see a legal deer deer soon so I dont keep pondering silly topics !
