Plugs are for migratory birds and waterfowl.
Orange is NOT required. I don't hunt in groups and often just by myself with my dogs. I'll wear an orange hat for opening week of SD deer season while I'm pheasant hunting. Old timers never had blaze orange. Personal preference.
Not much better than a dog on point in front of you with a rooster tucked in bent grass covered in fresh snow on a chilly morning. Only thing is you never know how many will bust out!
