Gary,
I do not know about the regs, but from a common sense
perspective, if I was wandering around in an area with
hunters using the area as well, it is probably NOT a
bad idea to have a little day-glo orange in your
outfit ;)
Years ago, while fishing for Steelhead on the Columbia
river, some bird hunters came up the bank behind me,
flushed a bird from the cattails, and blasted at it.
The shot pellets falling into the water all around me
sounded like rain. I was not hit, and they were
pretty much falling straight down, but it is still
fairly alarming!
