[QUOTE="scn, post: 4134863, member: 1859"] 615-736-5532 for the Nashville office of the USFWS If you have an uncased/loaded rifle while waterfowl hunting, there are likely issues. It is pretty hard to do legally unless you are on your own property. Having to wear the blaze orange while deer hunting makes it almost impossible to do both at the same time. It wouldn't be legal to spot the deer, throw on the blaze orange, and then shoot the deer because under the legal definition of hunting you were hunting that deer when you spotted it (without the blaze orange). I have done it a couple of times out of a goose pit where the rifle stayed unloaded and cased until I stopped goose hunting. I would then unload and case the shotgun, put on the blaze orange, and hunt the remainder of the deer hunting legal shooting hours. I vetted that scenario with the USFWS and was told there were no issues. Throwing a rifle and blaze orange into a blind in case a deer pops out most likely would lead to some illegalities. [/QUOTE]
