I know deer ain’t supposed to see it.
But I just hate orange when I’m hunting. I keep orange hat in my pack. Wear it walking in. But it comes off once in a treestand or an enclosed blind.
How about y’all?

I don't like it. I really don't think it keeps anyone any safer. The only hunting "accidents" I've known of would not have been mitigated by orange.

Don't have any

I wear it, but don't like it.

I wear it always, tree stand, shooting house or on the ground! Doesn’t bother me or the deer

This ^^^^. Movement will bust your butt long before hunter orange will.

I wear in when I am on the ground and remove it once I get elevated. Doesn't bother the deer. Movement and scent are more important factors than whether I am wearing orange or not.

Why do you, and welcome others to answer, do not like wearing an orange hat and/or vest? Just don't like any hats, afraid an orange hat will make folks think you might be an Auburn or Clemson fan, messes up your hair, is there a valid reason not to wear an orange cap?

I wear it when I'm supposed to but usually take it off when legal. I get tired of wearing a cap and also there are several animals that can see orange that I'm trying not to alert.

Never touch the stuff

What Top Cat said

I never saw any deer til I started wearing this.

I don't mind wearing a orange hat, like I was required to in Alabama. Here in Missouri I have to wear a orange hat and vest during the firearms season even if I am in my shooting house in the middle of a 300 acre field on private property. GW comes up to the shooting house and I do not have it on, I get ticketed.

Nice! .... Those blaze orange hats from Skully are the best of the bunch in my opinion.

you do know that hat ain't legal???????

Why ain’t it legal? The brown bill?

I don’t mind wearing orange to and from the stand. Im not a big fan of getting shot.

I usually always just put it on my tree when I hunt. Not concerned so much about getting shot up there as much as just making it a bit easier for someone to find me if I take a tumble or something. As a side benefit, if someone is walking in, They usually catch sight of the orange and turn around before the completely blow my spot.

Orange does not scare the deer and it 100% makes you visible to other hunters. In some of the Northern states even if it wasn't required I'd wear it because there are some real dumb ones packing a gun. Here during the deer/elk gun seasons it's not required but I will not go tromping around without an orange hat. Same thing, DUMMIES everywhere. This all refers to public land by the way. The guys here will run over you to get to a legal bul lol.

They may but, most don't lol

The hunters orange don't meet the required number of sq inches/full hat


During dates and in areas open by regulation to gun deer season, including youth deer season and muzzleloader deer season, all persons hunting any wildlife species, except foxes, raccoons, and opossums during legal nighttime hours or turkey or migratory birds (including crows), are required to wear an outer garment above the waist with a minimum of 144 square inches of hunter orange or either a full size hunter orange hat or cap
