[QUOTE="TNGunsmoke, post: 5214366, member: 10346"] This is not correct, by my reading of the statutes. The way I understand it, orange is not required for archery only season, but if muzzle loader or rifle is open, it is required unless you are a landowner hunting on your own land. I base this on page 24 of the hunting guide. [URL]https://www.eregulations.com/assets/docs/guides/21TNHD.pdf[/URL] Fluorescent Orange: Hunters must wear on the upper portion of their body and head a minimum of 500 square inches of daylight fluorescent or- ange (blaze orange), visible front and back while hunting big game except on archery-only and turkey hunts. A hat and vest fulfills requirements. Blaze orange camo is legal if it contains 500 square inches of fluorescent orange. In those areas where the archery-only deer season dates overlap with another big game gun season (i.e., bear) archers are required to wear 500 square inches of daylight fluorescent orange. Fluorescent orange is required during the August Hunt in Unit CWD [/QUOTE]
