RE: Wearin' orange in rifle season?!
In Ontario, Orange must be worn during all big game seasons, that means500 square inches (think thats the measurement) and a orange head cover. Bow hunting can be camo. This means when waterfowl hunting, no orange required. Also before big game season, and after it closes, you can chase bunnies, grouse, etc with no orange on, but I want to live, and there'ssome nuts out there.

No requirement in Vermont but if I am hunting public land I usually wear a hat put on a vest at the dark ends of the day. If I am on private land it is camo or green wool.

I'm surprised! I thought it would be required in all states. Canada too (which it apparently is). I can see not required on private, but . . .
Wow. Here in Wyoming you have to have at least one garment to be orange (excluding gloves), even on private. Except for goose hunting. No orange required there. But if you decide to get up and walk around pheasant hunting, you better put on at least a hat or vest.

I actually find the requirement of colours here to be bit bogus. An outer wear of solid white makeslittle senseto visibility in a land that usually has snow when rifle seasons are on!Red turns brown in low light. No stipulation if the outer wear is actually visible, I have seen a lot of dirty outfits that are anything but high visibility.FurthermoreML now a days are very capable of shooting much further then yester days andmaybe more to the point thepopularity of ML'shere in Sask. is sneaking very close to rifle resident hunters.Yet no problems with camo or whatever else here. It is a scratching of the head regulation, either make everyone wear high visibilty blaze or do away with it!

Ontario is actually 400sq" of blaze orange, above the waist, no mesh or camo. This applies to deer and moose in the gun season. Bear hunters must also wear it on the ground, but can take it off when they get into a tree, this exemption is because bears do have colour vision.
A blaze orange hat must also be worn, these regs apply everywhere, private or crown, during gun seasons.
