Thanks to state lawmakers making a change during this year's session, hunters have the option of wearing either blaze orange or blaze pink clothing. Whenever there's a firearms or muzzleloader deer season underway, all hunters — waterfowl hunters notwithstanding — must wear blaze orange or pink on their cap and on clothing above their waist (not including gloves and sleeves). Blaze orange or pink camouflage patterns are allowed, so long as each square foot is at least half blaze orange or pink. When not in firearms or muzzleloader deer seasons, small game hunters must ensure at least one article of clothing above their waist is blaze orange or pink. See the hunting regulations here for complete details.
