ASK THE GAME & FISH

11/9/2009

Q.   Do I need to wear blaze orange to hunt birds on Game and Fish habitat management areas and walk in areas?

A.  The wearing of fluorescent orange (one outer garment, hat, coat, shirt, sweater, vest) is required when hunting pheasants on WGFD habitat management areas, but is not required for walk-in areas, however the Game and Fish recommends wearing of blaze orange while pheasant hunting as an added safety measure.  Orange is also required when hunting pheasants in Glendo State Park and bordering Bureau of Reclamation lands.  Blaze orange is not required for hunting waterfowl or other species of birds on WGFD habitat management areas.
