I've read the regulations that state all rifle hunters are required to wear blaze Orange but does this requirement also apply to a buddy that is in the field with me but has no tag ? He would probably wear it anyway but I Wouldn't want him to get cited in case he forgets.
 
No. Only required if you are actually hunting. Even guides are not required to wear it.

I dont think its mandatory... wouldnt lead to citation but i would wear it for safety's sake if I was in the field among hunters! That s what blaze orange is all about. I would strongly encourage your friend to wear it. People are frickin dumb out there- be safe.
 
I would personally never go in the field during a rifle season without blaze orange even if I was only an observer. Even when I bowhunted during the muzzy season, I wore a blaze camo vest and hat.

The whole blaze orange requirement is interesting. Some states, like Nevada, don't require any orange during rifle season. I know Nevada has way fewer hunters than Colorado, but it would be interesting to see percentages of people shot with or without orange.
Crazy people do crazy things regardless. I know a guy who was shot while riding his wheeler in Colorado during hunting season and he was wearing orange. The guy who shot him thought he was an elk.
 
Too bad COLO should do like WYO, they even sell their own Camo Orange hats with different game on them.
