Orange in stand?

[jlb0305]

I've been using blinds for a few years during archery deer. I know blinds require orange band on a near by tree, but what about tree stands? It hasn't been an issue for me before because when in my stand I had orange for firearm season. This year I'm planning on being in the tree so trying to figure out if I need the orange band up there.

Per that I guess my misunderstanding was that the band isnt even required for blinds in archery season. I thought it was just having a blind and didn't see the "in firearms season" part. So I'm fine without one during archery in my stand.

It's really not a bad idea to do, especially in State Gamelands. There really are some dangerous idiots out there.

I don't think it's really necessary for archery though, unless you have a lot of front platers with crossbows in the area.

I won't even go to Wexford. Largest group of idiots I've seen in one place...the range there is even more dangerous.

Amen to that!
