Blaze orange clothing is beginning to show up on clothes lines, porches, etc. throughout Wisconsin. 600,000 to 650,000 deer hunters will be out in the woodlots and forests opening weekend dressed in the mandatory orange. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ibVB2DH.jpg)

On my way down to my dad's place last Friday midday there tons of orange hats on dashboards and guys wearing them while driving.
Makes me laugh, nothing like a blaze orange rolling billboard.
BTW, what's brand is the reversible vest?

Got the orange washed and waxed ready to go. Just bought a few groceries and now it’s time to pack the clothes. Heading north Friday morning. Good luck to all of you. Shoot straight and be safe.

I have hunted the family's 80 acres by myself the last few years..... this year I got a 35 y/o nephew to come out hunting for the first time.... I promised him a deer stand or three.... to pick from, and I would take care of all his dead deer needs....
He's all excited... he has three tags in his pocket.... I fixed him up with ammo... helped him get his gun sited in... coached him on how to reduce his sent...
Fingers crossed....
Well... we have come to the point.... where... the parasites are killing the host. It's only a matter of time now.

The only reason I washed mine is because of the mud and blood from last year. I usually just pack the orange back into the tub with a dirt and leaves dryer sheet in it if I don’t sweat them up. The mud would look tacky if I didn’t wash it off.

It wasn't always a blaze orange requirement. Red was the color and buffalo plaid black and red along with other black/red combinations qualified. It was the Red Army at that time.

Yes, the state is getting spun up for hunting. Talked to some teenage sons and daughters of relatives, and was neat to see how excited they get for the start of the normal gun season.
In rural parts of the state the Deer gun season is still the Social event of the year for an awful lot of people.
I will be organizing my gear and clothing today in preparation, which is an event I look forward to every year.
Good luck to all Wisconsin hunters.
May the deer be plentiful,
Your aim be true,
and your mind be open to the magic that a November woods during the deer season can gift you.

Yellow was okay back in the 60's too. Now florescent pink is legal though I sure wonder why the neon highway worker green isn't an approved color as well? 50% high visibility orange/pink above the waist not including the sleeves is all that is required by law and that is all I'm going to be with camo orange. They have been citing guys for not being enough vivid orange because they have been wearing the same old washed out orange hunting cloths for years.
