Why is it important to wear daylight fluorescent orange clothing while hunting?

  1. It helps attract game

  2. It keeps hunters warm

  3. It makes hunters more visible to other hunters

  4. It is a legal requirement in all states

The correct answer is: It makes hunters more visible to other hunters

Hunting can be a dangerous activity, and there is a risk of accidental shootings when there are multiple hunters in the same area. Wearing daylight fluorescent orange clothing while hunting makes hunters more visible to other hunters, reducing the risk of mistaken identity and subsequent accidents. While it may seem like wearing camouflage or darker colors would be more appropriate for hunting, these colors can actually make hunters blend in with their surroundings and be less visible to others. Wearing this specific color of clothing is not only a safety precaution, but it is also required by law in many states for hunting season.
