Hunters can wear fluorescent pink or orange

The law lets you choose daylight fluorescent pink or orange for hunter safety gear. You and anyone with you must wear at least 500 square inches as outer clothing above your waist. A hat can count. This rule applies when you hunt deer during firearms season. It also applies to feral hog hunting during the firearms deer season, and to bear hunting during firearms and primitive weapons seasons. Conflicting state rules are repealed.
