Wear your high-vis clothing in the woods during the hunt, says DNR

MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — If you’re heading out into the woods this weekend, be sure to wear something visible.

Wisconsin DNR warden Jeff Mulroney says blaze orange and hunter pink outdoors wear is inexpensive and widely available.

“Something high visibility so that hunters can see you and not mistake you for something else. And that includes your pets,” Mulroney said.

While non-hunters are recommended to wear that clothing, all hunters are required to wear high visibility gear on at least 50 percent of their body and on their head. The nine-day gun deer season opens on Saturday. More info is online at DNR.WI.gov.
