I'm so damn pumped for my first WY hunt, I cant even explain it!! Quick question though...Can I wear a blaze camo hat or does it have to be full blaze orange? I can't find the specifics in the regs. Thanks in advance and good luck to all this year!! BTW, I'll be in 21 chasing lopers on 10/15...

I understand it as a blaze orange cap or vest doesn't say anything about camo blaze orange.
Best of luck to you on your first Wyoming hunt

Don't take a chance with the camo/blaze orange....WEAR the 100% Blaze Orange hat and be safe. Or take one of each and see if the F&G Warden sites you.
I will keep my eyes open for a camo/orange wearing hat guy when I am there the same time...good luck.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-29-12 AT 06:29AM (MST)[p]I bought a blaze camo cap from the WGF that states it fulfills the Wyoming hunter orange requirement. Checked in four antelope the last two years and the WOs said that was fine.
We'll be in 24 on the 6th to try for some more.

The regs are somewhat clear on this. You must wear at least ONE exterior garment (hat,shirt,jacket,coat,vest or sweater) that is visible and fluorescent orange in color. The regs specifically state that fluorescent orange camouflage is legal. There is no percentage or inches requirement. I used to wear only a blaze orange bandanna around my neck. I was checked a few times with the bandanna and nothing was ever said. 2-3 years ago, a warden told me that it wasn't enough. I told him it was a vest. He said it wasn't a vest and I inquired as to where in the regs the word "vest" was defined. He was stumped by the question. I know of one young guy who has an old blaze orange ballcap pop riveted to the back of his pack. Do what you think is best and wear at least one of the garments in the regs. Remember, the regs don't say "pants".

Just talked with the ranch owner where we are going this year just to the north of Casper and he said it is DRY and has to haul water in for his cattle. Looks like it could be a tough year to hunt Lopes but we will see in a few weeks.
I will copy your info down and keep an eye or two open for your vehicle. We will be in a 2000 Gray Ford F-350 Chew Cab w/ 10,000 runnings lights...LOL Not really that many but enough so no one can't miss seeing it in the dark.
