Don't forget your orange...

Just a reminder to anyone archery hunting this weekend, early muzzleloader comes in so we are required to wear an orange hat and vest while moving. It can be removed once on stand, but then a 100sq" band visible 360° must be used.

Dont forget tree rats also. I will have my revenge!

Thanks for the reminder. I would have forgotten my vest when I leave for camp tomorrow.

My favorite area becomes super hard to bowhunt from the pressure it receives during this early muzz season. That's why after Saturday I usually leave that spot cool until the last week.

I have shot deer with a bow wearing orange, but for some reason I just hate having to wear it. More because it ruins the experience for me than I worry about being seen.

yup I agree 100%. I even hunt in areas where it really isn't safe to use a muzzle loader but sure enough they always are there driving through and pissing off the deer then they walk right through the bedding area's and drive off the deer so they can attempt a shot at a running animal...

and the orange... ugh so fricken bright!

The worst so far was last year, I heard a shot close by and shortly after an old guy walked right up to my tree stand and hollered up asking if I saw any deer come running by. I said no, and climbed down and called it a day. I mean I was hunting deer too, thanks for ruining my morning by stomping right up through my spot. Dang orange gave me away, lol.
