I found a pretty sweet spot on WNF that could become a little waterfowl retreat for me. If I can swing it, I may go out there Sunday. My question is this, I'll be set up on land in public hunting, do I new to wear orange this weekend?

I know from a safety standpoint, I should regardless. So it's more a question of curiosity.

This requirement applies statewide on both public and private land.

I'd just stay away from Public Land this weekend. I have a spot I've been wanting to hit, but I'll likely wait until after the weekend. It's just not worth it, even wearing orange out there people are idiots.
