Stay safe and be seen this fall!

Just a quick reminder for anyone planning to visit state game lands between November 15 and December 15: you must wear at least 250 square inches of fluorescent orange on your head, chest, and back combined unless engaged in lawful hunting or trapping that doesn’t require the use of orange. This includes Sundays.

“Hats and vests are best!” An orange hat and vest satisfy this requirement.

And don’t forget about your furry friends — it’s a good idea to make sure your pets are sporting fluorescent orange, too!

Learn more about fluorescent orange requirements: https://bit.ly/4eSCuiu.

Good luck. Have fun. Hunt safely.
