Resource Pimp 60 Report post Posted June 8, 2011 Is blaze orange required when archery hunting moose from a tree stand? Or is it the same as archery hunting for bear, once in the stand no blaze required? Quote "If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles."

Guest MNR Report post Posted June 8, 2011 A. The objective of the hunter orange regulation is to maximizehunter safety without negatively impacting hunting success. Under this regulation, all licensed hunters, including archery hunters while hunting during the gun season for deer and moose, are required to wear hunter orange, regardless of whether in a tree stand or not. As well, all black bear hunters hunting during the black bear season are required to wear hunter orange except when in a tree stand. (This exception is in place because, unlike deer and moose, black bears have colour vision.) Waterfowl hunters, wild turkey hunters and archery hunters in archery-only areas are exempt from the hunter orange requirement.So if you’re archery hunting moose in the archery only season, you don’t need to wear hunter orange. If you’re hunting birds with a .22 or .410 before the moose or deer rifle season starts, you don’t need to wear hunter orange. BUT it is against the law to carry a rifle (.22 or .410) if you are out archery hunting moose.When hunting moose or deer you may use or carry only a firearm of the type (rifle, shotgun, archery or muzzleloader) permitted at that time in that Wildlife Management Unit. For example, when hunting moose during an archery only season, you may use or carry only archery equipment. You may not carry a rifle or shotgun for hunting other game species (ie .22 or .410 for birds). However, when hunting moose during a rifle/shotgun season (after archery only season is over), you may also carry a rifle or shotgun for small game (in addition to the firearm that meets the specifications to hunt moose).
