Big Game Hunting

Hunter Dress

A hunter orange garment and hat must be worn by any person who is hunting, dressing or retrieving a big game animal.

The hat must be solid hunter orange except that it may have a crest or logo not exceeding 78-sq. cm. (12-sq. in.) provided that it does not completely cover the hunter orange on the side where the crest or logo is affixed.

The outer garment must consist of not less than 2,580-sq. cm. (400-sq. in.) of hunter orange material, above the waist and visible from all sides. Hunter orange body camouflage is legal if the hunter orange portion meets the above requirement. The remaining outer clothing colour is optional.

Bowhunters are exempt during archery seasons, but are encouraged to wear hunter orange when hunting in an area where there is a concurrent rifle season. Wolf hunters are exempt in hunting areas while no other big game season is on. Black bear hunters are exempt during the spring season.
