sport 25 Report post Posted October 5, 2020 u r correct !! only need hunter orange when there is a big game season open..deer or moose ..they dont use bear season that starts in august as ' big game ' . we all wear hunter orange because thats what we were taught in the hunter course ..got my license in 1976 and they drilled it into us to wear hunter orange. 🤓🤓 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalFishing 84 Report post Posted October 5, 2020 Holders of a trappers license are required to wear orange as soon as bear season starts I believe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nnev 70 Report post Posted October 6, 2020 That's how I interpreted the regs too. Although safety is #1 so it never hurts to wear orange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunt or be hunted 59 Report post Posted October 7, 2020 I’m kinda confused by 2 statements their , it’s not required until big game season is open and only wear it from the truck till ur in the stand ? Isn’t the opener of archery deer season not considered big game ? And if ur in the stand hunting are u not required to wear orange the whole time while in the act of hunting ?

It is considered big game but it’s not required until rifle season for deer begins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunt or be hunted 59 Report post Posted October 7, 2020 Hmmm that’s interesting, so someone at some point in their southern Ontario office figures hunting bears with a rifle isn’t considered big game, neither does sending a 330 plus FPS arrow down range at a deer or moose, I’m not complaining about not having to wear the orange but the logic isn’t really their backing it, I can hunt on my private land no orange till the rifle opener and then I have to wear orange on my own land ? I can see the dangers of open rifle season on public lands but on private I scratch my head about it ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
