Safety First in the Woods

It’s nearly the opening for deer season. With that comes an important question: do you know the hunter orange requirements? It’s a hard question for some, but everyone going into the woods (for any reason) this time of year should have the answer.

The requirement is a minimum of 400 square inches that must be visible from all sides and above the waist. According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website, a hat alone does not meet this requirement.
