Hunter Orange Requirements by State



non toxic turkey shot

You may have heard of the state requirements for hunter citrus. But what is it? There are several types of hunter Orange, including pink, fluorescent, blaze, and shades of orange. These laws vary from state to state, so it's important to know what your state requires and when it might be required. Hunter orange is a great color, no matter where you hunt.

blaze orange

Only hunting in Colorado is allowed if you are wearing appropriate blaze orange clothing. A proposal to require muzzleloader hunters to wear blaze orange clothing was rejected by the state's Parks and Wildlife Commission. The reason was an accident involving a bowhunter. If you are hunting deer or any large game using a firearm such as a muzzleloader to pursue them, the blaze orange outfit is mandatory.

Pink

You may find the Hunter orange requirements applicable to your vehicle more stringent than you realize, depending on which state you are in. Hunters are not required to wear fluorescent orange in New York. However, the DEC strongly encourages hunters to wear fluorescent orange while out on their hunts. The reason is simple: deer don't have red-sensitive cone cells in their eyes, so they cannot differentiate between orange and green. Also, the deer's eyes have a different sensitivity than humans' and orange to them is darker than green, brown, or even yellow.


Fluorescent orange

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Massachusetts require firearm hunters to wear fluorescent hunter orange during specific hunting seasons. New York doesn't require hunters to wear fluorescent orange during hunting season. However, many hunters do choose to wear it. The requirements for each state are different, but the general idea is the following: Hunting in fluorescent orange requires hunters to be visible. Bright clothing, hats and vests are all acceptable.

Red hues

Hunter orange safety vests should be no larger than 200 square inches. They must also contain at least one-third of the color, blaze orange. Hunters in state management areas must also wear the vest. There are exceptions to the requirements: waterfowl hunters in a blind or boat, crows using decoys, spring turkey hunters, and first segment dove hunters. In Arkansas, however, hunters must wear blaze orange at all times.
