wearing blaze oranage for archery extended

what a bummer man, i know it's to be safe but 400sq inches feels like i might as well just tell the deer and elk im on the way..

im new to the elk hunting part of it, anyone feel like it would really effect much if you have a good backdrop? gonna go do some walking in the wasatch with my bow on thursday

oh and how much orange do you think it takes for 400sq inches? a vest and hat hopefully enough?

You really worried about the 400 in crap. Hell i put a pack on tie a little piece on the back of my pack and call it good. So from the front im all camo and the back i got a little orange just in case but bow hunting there is no way im wearin orange

Where on the extended are you hunting? From what ive heard if your south of I80 i didnt think you needed hunter orange. Could be wrong though.

yeah lots of people have said dont really worry about the blaze orange other than your pack or a hat or something.....typically i try to play things by the book, ive had bad luck with situations like that in the past.

yes im hunting below i-80, but i havent heard or read that one....i have heard rumors the emigration canyon is archery only? so maybe if that's true it would apply there...all hearsay until i see it written somewhere though.

ohwell going for a walk out there in the morning i need to get some sleep! more of a scouting mission but maybe ill get lucky, got a deer tag too.

Emigration Canyon is Archery only. You can look it up on the Utah DWR site. On the bottom of the home page under latest news. Best of luck!

I'm not sure where you are hunting on the extended archery area, but alot of it is archery only. Page 37 of the 2010 big game guide book says you must wear 400 inches of orange if there is a centerfire rifle hunt in progress in the area you are hunting. If you're in the archery only area there is no centerfire rifle hunt in that area so you shouldn't have to wear any orange. That's how I see it at least.

well i was near emigration but not really in it.....

i saw no hunters or heard anything so i didnt wear it, had a little on my backpack...no elk but i saw two moose and 6 bucks all 3pt or bigger but couldnt get a shot...

now where are those darn elk at, i hiked my ass off, ive never hiked so hard in my life for no elk sign, but it was still an awesome day, especially seeing so many nice bucks and i so happen to have a tag :D
