Use to never wear it especially on our own land ; then we've had tree stands stole , find tracks where folks have walked across our farm , heard shots at dark . Never know who's out there . I want to be seen and don't want to be a headline .

I wear it until I am out of site of the public road. Then I either reverse my hat or stick it I’m my coat pocket. Pisses me off every time I put it on to walk in on my own property. If I get shot, it will be by someone who was not supposed to be there in the first place.

I think you're a lot less likely to be "scoped" by someone if you have it on

Nothing is said about the bill of the cap.


Actually it is, it says full size hunter orange hat, that's including the bill...

That's the reason I wear it, even on my own property and my lease. I ain't worried about the folks that are supposed to be there, they know where I'm hunting and how I'm going to and from there. Coming out after dark I always turn on my cap light or a flashlight.

I wear it every second I’m hunting. I think it has more to do with folks being told they have to wear it. Like seatbelts. Or game check. I’ve had turkeys walk by me with orange on during deer season and never check up.

I don't even think about wearing it. Orange cap goes on my head when I get my gear on at the truck, comes off my head when I load back into the truck. Pretty easy. I hunt a lot of clear cut and I can easily see onto the neighbors properties surrounding me. I'd much rather be a bobbing bright orange hat than an unidentifiable brown blob to someone who may be hunting near a line.

If not elevated or in a blind I wear it. I am a firm believer that an orange hat does not bother deer. A full fledged vest may be a different story. In my opinion if a hat and vest were required, the vest should be allowed to have some type of a broken pattern. Thinking I am standing out like a sore thumb bothers me, but I have had a many of deer within 40 yards in all hours of the day and the orange hat didn't affect them.

Had an uncle who wore blaze orange coveralls and killed as many as anybody. I wear an orange hat when I am at the farm whether I'm hunting, filling feeders or just riding the gator. If somebody shoots at me and hits me with a rifle it probably isn't gonna matter if my name is on the deed or not.
