So one of my buddies and myself have noticed a tremendous amout of hunting in blinds without orange during muzzleloader season... One person that I asked that was clearly not wearing orange stated -A muzzleloader is not a firearm-... Now I do not see that as being true, but truly, I do not see any definition in the regs.. so am I in the wrong for thinking people dont need orange? I would ALWAYS wear orange while carrying a gun period..
BLAZE ORANGE REQUIRED
To hunt deer with a firearm in any season you must wear one of the following articles of external, visible, solid blaze orange clothing: vest, jacket, coat, sweatshirt, sweater, shirt or coveralls. An orange hat alone is not sufficient. No person shall use a blind for hunting deer during the regular shotgun deer seasons unless such blind exhibits a solid blaze orange marking with a minimum of 144 square inches visible in all directions. A blind is defined as a place of concealment constructed, either wholly or partially from manmade materials, which is used for the purpose of hiding a person who is hunting from sight. A blind is not a naturally occurring landscape feature or an arrangement of natural or agricultural plant material that a hunter uses for concealment. In addition to the requirements above, hunters using blinds must also satisfy the requirements of wearing blaze orange.
