Okay Chief...
The book (and therefore the LAW) reads that hunter orange is required ANYTIME firearms are permitted for the taking of game. Granger has a squirrel season open all year (never closed) and it is legal to take squirrel with a shotgun ALL YEAR!
Therefore, Hunter Orange must be worn AT ALL TIMES!
Orange is not required during the draw hunts because all other hunting is suspended (ie, no squirrel hunting with a shotgun), therefore orange is not required.
ALL other times orange is required! I don't care what Joel says, the rangers say, your brother...THE LAW is clear on this.
It is MY MUTHER****ING LAKE!
Anytime you are hunting Granger other than the special draw hunts Orange is required, period.

I was sitting on my chair in the bushes waiting for something to stick itself on my arrow. I hear shotguns close by so i orange all up so they might see me better and i begin to think. Dear supposedly don't see orange. If my camo gear has me blended in with the trees, the dear don't see me. So when i put my orange on, what they see? A shape of nothing where my vest is? If so, that just throws camo out the door.

Not to rub it in, but, since this comes up ALL THE TIME!
From the map booklet, Page xi
Hunter Orange• fails to visibly wear at least 400 square inches of hunter
orange material with orange headwear and at least
144 square inches appearing on both chest and back during
daylight hours at times when hunting with firearms is permitted.
Exempt from these requirements are: (1) authorized
department personnel and landowner employees, (2) persons
hunting turkey or migratory game birds, (3) persons within
the enclosed passenger compartment of a motor vehicle,
(4) persons within a designated campground, designated
vehicle parking area, designated boat launching facility or
departmental check station, and (5) persons other than
hunters on COE properties.
NOTICE to archery hunters and recreational users: You must
wear hunter orange during daylight hours at any time when
firearm hunting for any species is authorized on the unit.
Many units allow firearm hunting year-round for rabbits, and
firearm hunts for squirrel and dove often are conducted
concurrently with archery deer hunts.

From the map booklet, Page 91
As you can see, orange is required anytime firearms are permitted, and they are permitted all year long at Granger for one thing or another (squirrel, rabbit, coyote).
Chief, I will gladly accept a 12 pack of Shiner Bock in lieu of an apology.
