They do not unless the regs have changed. I still always wear it to be safe.

I agree, I think it's safe and I always have orange. At the same time I think landowners should have the option to not wear it If they choose.

I don't, if someone is going to shoot at me, I prefer they have a hard time seeing me.

I wear mine walking in but take it off while "on stand". If someone is trespassing, I want to see them before they see me. When I'm on my feet, i don't want to get mistaken for a deer. I'd dress out at about 230.
I wear an orange hat and that's it.

I will Not be a goodin' next year.I'd give you another year
My family does not wear orange on our property. If we have unauthorized visitors then I want to be able to close with them, take a picture and ask them a few unpolite questions.
I also open carry on my land when hunting so even in off season or bow season the trespasser is aware that I am well armed. No threat ever implied but I have met pretty stupid/arrogant people when they thought they were better armed than me (for instance stealing Ginseng).
I am the nicest guy in the world and I recommend folks keep me that way...

You do not have to wear it on your own land
Is a deer worth dying for? Answer me that. I have land where I could not where orange and feel safe. Its a big chunk of land, but people roam and stray, things happen. I wear orange every time I hunt.
I'll say this...I'm sick and tired of people saying it's my land and nobody should be there. Well it aint a perfect world. Be smart and save your life. No deer is worth it.

Where I hunt there are too many folks in the area that would shoot at a noise.
I wear my blaze orange on my property. There is no downside to doing so.
If for some reason I needed to close on a person then I am no longer hunting deer, and those are different circumstances.

I only wear if I am wandering about looking for a shot deer.
As many trespassers and poachers roam the woods there is no way I wouldn't wear orange. Even on my own posted private land.

I wear it going to and from my stand, but take the vest off while sitting.
While field dressing or dragging I wear all the orange I can.

This will be my first hunting season on this property. I've not caught a trespasser yet but I know neighbors that hunt but I have no idea where. I think I'm going to wear it.
Just heard a shot while typing this.

Blaze orange is not a Kevlar cocoon. In brush or under canopy you may or may not be visible to another hunter.
How many people on this forum have shot at a deer on a ridge line or towards a road/house?
Have you ever hunted where you could see flashes of cars color passing on a nearby road? "Oh, a bullet could never get through all the trees to the road or to that house..." If you can see flashes of cars passing a bullet can get through.
Everyone on this forum needs to make sure they are thinking about where their bullet/s are going after the shot. Hit or miss.
(Is a deer worth dying for? /// needs to be "Is a deer worth killing for?) Safety starts above the buttstock folks.
Orange has its place but excluding in combat I have had bullets zip by me, way too close, while wearing orange.
If a hunter is shot, wounded or killed, or property/livestock is damaged, it will be by a hunter/shooter that didn't understand how dangerous THEY were.
