Wear it! Don't risk it. Kinda of like the people that don't wear helmets when on motorcycle!

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 on my own land when MZ and Gun is in season. I have walked up on too many trespassers to take a chance not being seen.
Exactly right. Same here.
