if the orange is camo,it has to be a t least 50% orange. Solid orange can be just a hat visible from all sides.

thanks , that seems so strange compared to WI but I am guessing you don't have the hunter density we do in WI. here a hat if worn must be orange and 50% of the upper body , they do allow florecent pink for the girls now but oddly not hiviz I did wear a hiviz cap for several years no warden ever stopped me everyone new it was me coming close to a mile away.
ground blinds on public land must have a 144 sq inch flag visible in all directions.

nice job, carry on and enjoy the hunt you fellas are about to start week two

I would almost prefer if every one in my party had a strip of hyviz on their sleeve I could pic them out from the other parties we some times run into.
I guess that is what a one week season does.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Very cool story, as they say "a picture shows a thousand words"

These pictures have two stories , I'm not even sure the OP knows it , props if he does.

The first picture is what as known as a 'colored' photo. Made before actual modern type 'color film' came into vogue , they had different ways of making a color picture in the days of mostly black&white photography. Some b&w negatives were treated with dyes or different processes or prints even sometimes hand painted with dyes as they were drying. I have a vintage sepia photograph of my grandfather when he was young and racing horses for a living. The main color of the picture is sepia but him and other jockeys next to him in the photo all have their racing silks hand painted with very bright colors. Very neat picture.

There is a whole new story on the first picture, historic in it's own means as a cool piece of photography history plus it's a family heirloom. Doesn't get any better than that.
