In the state of Alabama do you have to wear orange during firearm season when you are up in the tree?

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

(1) 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. Hunters are not required to wear hunter orange when hunting from a stand elevated twelve (12) feet or more from the ground, when hunting in an enclosed box stand, when traveling in an enclosed vehicle, or when traveling on foot no more than twenty feet directly between an operating enclosed vehicle and a stand where the hunter is exempt from the hunter orange requirement. The hunter orange must be worn when traveling on foot between an operating enclosed vehicle and exempt stand when the distance is more than a direct distance of twenty feet. A small logo and/or printing is permitted on the front of hunter orange caps; otherwise, hunter orange must be of solid color and visible from any angle. Only hunter orange, commonly called blaze orange, ten mile cloth, etc., is legal. The various shades of red as well as camo orange are not legal.
(2) "Open Permit-Public Land" is defined as governmentally owned land open for public hunting and/or lands made available to the public on an individual basis whether for a fee or not. Examples of such lands would be national forest lands, lands owned by lumber companies and utility companies available for use by hunters either through free permits, fee permits or no permit requirement.

I don’t wear it on our private place. Years ago I was bow hunting it and a hunter from the bordering timber co decided to take a little walk wearing his orange vest. He got the idea when that arrow stuck in the ground about 4 feet in front of his foot. I yelled at him that he needs to go back where he came from. He had no idea where I was at and couldn’t find me.

I'll wear my orange hat on our lease, just because I never know who might be out there.

I wear a hat the whole time I’m in the woods. I’ve never understood to dislike of wearing an orange hat or the people who take it off when they get to 12 feet. I’m not worried about getting shot, but it’s just how I’ve always done it.

Never know when our crack head neighbors might decide to take an adventure onto our property. Heck when we used to hunt public ground I had a pair of blaze orange coveralls I’d wear. You could pick me up on satellite. I like to be seen.

I am happy to wear hunter’s orange while I am on the ground. I take it off if I am hunting elevated above 15 feet. Another thing I do for safety is I use a flashlight while walking to or from my stand in the dark. I will blink it off and on every few steps to make sure I am seen.
