2009 Hunting & Fishing Guide

Blaze orange regulation appears to be good law

October 13, 2009

By KENNETH R. COBB
In the 1980s, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources mandated the blaze orange regulation.  During the firearms season, deer hunters would be required to wear at least 400 square inches of blaze orange, to be visible from the front and rear, as an outer garment. I was not in favor of this regulation. It was not because I did not want to wear orange. It was because I did not like the idea of government telling everyone what color clothes they have to wear when they go hunting.
When I go deer hunting during the gun season, I have blaze orange on from my cap to my pants. The only thing not blaze orange is my boots.   This is the way I have deer hunted for more than 30 years. This is my decision to dress like this, not the government’s. Anyone who has ever seen me in the woods during the deer gun season will tell you this.
