I'm on my land right now hunting. I always wear blaze orange, even here. Can't be too safe IMHO.

Why should TWRA want to make more people aware of exemptions that make it more unsafe. Does the highway patrol need you to make people aware that you can drive unsafe on your own land? I am glad that TWRA allows for landowners exceptions for things but I would say they don't have to go out of there way to broadcast it. Just my opinion as I am sure that landowners are never shot by accident on there own land so there is no need to have it on. To be honest I would use it and make anyone that hunts my land use it.

The only way I would take it off would be when I got up in the tree. No way I would come out of it hunting from the ground

All joking aside, you should wear it. Safety should be priority #1. About 30 years ago, my father came across another hunter who was shot. The hunter who accidentally shot him went into shock and died. The hunter who was shot survived.
Accidental deaths have declined from hunting accidents in great part to education and blaze orange. Just remember to keep it safe. I've seen enough tresspassing idiots to know that even when you should have the woods to yourself, you may have an idiot close by.

Well, if you don't wear it, and you get to your stand well before daylight(with a flashlight) you can potentially see trespassers/poachers coming, before they see you. (Personal experience) Also, if I'm coming out after dark, I have the light on as well. IMO, and it's just that, an opinion, I'd rather not be seen by the group of trespassers/poachers that I contend with on a yearly basis, in order to call them in and get them busted.

I wear it because poachers also tend to shoot at movement thinking its a deer. I don't want to be that kind of deer. I have taken it off in the stand but will hang it on my tree. I'm hoping I never run into trespassers on my property but I'm sure it will happen someday.

Do you have to wear the orange if you're hunting private land but are not the land owner?

What if your mother owns the land??? Are immediate family members also exempt under this regulation?

Your tires are speed rated for appropriate highway velocities, but it's probably ont a good idea to let people know what they're "good" for.....you know, safety and all.

I believe I would wear my orange even if I were exempt.
I always make sure to remove it before I go back into town. (I wouldn't want anyone to think I was a UT fan.)

Same here i wear mine to the stand and then take it off. Then when before i get out of my stand i put it back on. and i have been shot at while having my blaze orange on too. I'm glad they missed or i wouldn't be here today.

Deer don't seem to key in on it anymore than any other color. If you are a wiggle worm they are going to see you no matter what you are wearing.

I wear it on our own property. I'm not taking unnecessary chances.
Also, I hunt mostly from a ground blind. I always hang my orange vest on a limb or wrap it around a tree before I enter the blind.
