Archery Only areas and blaze orange

Unread postby MN_DeerHunter » Tue Dec 03, 2013 11:23 am

I'm planning on hunting some archery only federal land this weekend in MN - am I still required to wear blaze orange (because the muzzleloader season is open)?

:think:

In Wisconsin you are... I would bet Minnesota is the same.

I found the regulations for MN:

Deer Season: The visible portion of a cap and outer clothing above the waist, excluding sleeves and gloves, must be blaze orange when hunting or trapping during any open season where deer may be taken by firearms (including special hunts, early antlerless, youth seasons and muzzleloader). Blaze orange includes a camouflage pattern of at least 50 percent blaze orange within each square foot. This restriction does not apply to migratory bird hunters on waters or in stationary shooting locations or to trappers on waters.

I'll probably wear some orange this weekend just to be safe, but I'm curious what a Conservation Officer would say being that this piece of land you cannot legally hunt deer with a firearm?
