This is how messed up the rules in this state are. did you know hunter orange is not mandatory during 6-day if you are using a bow

& it should'nt be.

 

I have heard that before and you would have to be nuts not to wear it during 6 day especially on state land.

 

wear it walking in and out, but up in the tree I feel pretty safe being above the line of fire.

 

iam still trying to picture guys with crossbows on a drive,[hihi][hihi][hihi]

 

Read the Game Council minutes from October. They are looking to change that and a few other things as well.

11. NJAC 7:25-5.23 Firearms and Missiles,
and 5.24 (d) Bow and Arrow, General Provisions
Add language to mandate the use of hunter orange for ground blinds used
during firearm deer hunting seasons, including by archers when bowhunting
and firearm seasons are concurrent.

Don't know if this will include treestands or not.

Full minutes are here-

It would be in your best interest to wear at least an orange hat wherever you are IMO. Better safe than sorry![confusedagain]

You have to be an idiot not to wear some kind of orange at least while your walking to and from your stand.

I keep a hat in my pack and put it on whenever I see a hunter approaching, esp. during squirrel season, saved me from some pellets at least twice.
Also walking in or out I turn my headlamp on weather I need it or not. Never seen a deer with headlights.[patcheye]

 

It only takes one pellet of 00 buck to really ruin your day. Wear orange!

I am the same, usually hang my orange hat somewhere by the tree I am hunting out of though. [up]

 

when i hunted in chester pa i think the rule was you had to at lest hang organge in your vicinity i used to hang my orange hat on a limb... it should be the same way here. its dangerous and anyone not at least hanging something on the ground or from their tree that time of yr is nuts

 

I even wear an orange hat to and from my stand in BOW ONLY parks. I dont trust some yahoo who doesnt follow the laws/rules.

 

If it makes sense to do something, you don't need a law for it.

 

For guys that hunt out of a blind do you where inside or do you hang it on the outside so other hunters can see the Orange?
