Neighbor_guy Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Let me preface this by saying that I have been bowhunting since 1997. I also understand that bowhunters hate dressing up like a pumpkin, but with only a couple of exceptions....BLAZE ORANGE IS REQUIRED STATE WIDE FOR THE NEXT 16 DAYS!!!!!!A vest, and a hat. let me repeat that..... a VEST, and a HAT Its not that hard to understand.Due to school and work I chose not to bowhunt this year and thus decided to hunt with the Muzzleloader. I also ended up 10' from a bowhunter today. I became "that guy", and I diddn't like being in that spot. If dudeman had been wearing orange I wouldn't have been there, because I was keeping an eye out for hunters."I have orange for when I walk out" That is not an excuse. Especially if you are hunting on public property and on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdswacker Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 If your running your sled dogs to get them ready for the season wear ORANGE!!! I saw him running the dogs down the road of a very busy WMA with a RABBIT FUR HAT on very bad idea!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I don't believe this is the case when hunting the metro zone. So if you're doing MBRB or another twin cities management hunt you don't have to wear blaze orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 BradB, the rule is not about the metro zone, its about areas where firearms are legal. Just to be clear. MBRB hunts are done in areas where firearms are not legal. However, if a bowhunter is hunting in a legal portion of Zone 601 and firearms are legal in that area then blaze orange would be required.
