Great question. I've wondered same.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

I don't climb into a stand without a harness.
That being said I don't see how you can forced to wear one. However it is recommended that you do. I will look at the WMA papers tomorrow and see if it is required.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

If it says "should" wear one, then it's not mandatory, but recommended.

I'm pretty sure it's required on WMA.

IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL:
24.To hunt from an elevated stand or platform without attaching themselves to the tree or platform with a full body safety harness capable of supporting their weight.
This is copied off the WMA permits. The way that reads, I guess they could write a ticket even if you had a RC harness on because its not a full body harness?

This is copied off the WMA permits. There you go. Big difference between "should" and "shall". I always do anyway, so I don't give it a 2nd thought.

Define a full body harness. A harness that supports the entire/full body?

I once had a greenhorn GW write me a ticket for my reversible blaze orange basball cap. The bill of the cap is camo. He was waiting at my truck whe I came back from my stand and he asked me if I was wearing one hat or two. I said one and he told me my hat was illegal. I guess if I had a stocking cap over my baseball cap I would have been legal. Idiot.

I think GW was correct if the brim wasn't orange. A baseball cap barely meets the 144 square inches. The is an exception for an small emblem on the front. Yes if you had an orange stocking on top of you cap that was 144 sq. inches then yes it would have. Unless you have a huge noggin!

verbal warning should of sufficed. I'd of never written that ticket, there's better use of a GWs time.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
