Blaze Camo?

[caljay30]

I was told blaze with a breakup pattern in it wasn't legal, but a buddy seen it in bass pro. Is there a western province that doesn't permit it?

Don't know about anywhere else, but Ontario does not.

Since there is no requirement to wear any orange in AB, there wouldn't be a problem here.

It's allowed in manitoba, yet a certain percentage of your body must be covered by blaze orange. There cannot be logos that take up too much space either on blaze orange clothing.

Not allowed in Sask.

Ontario regs state that when hunting in area where there is an open firearm season for bear, deer or moose hunters are required to wear at least 400 square inches of hunter orange on their upper body, in addition to an orange hat, that is clearly visible from all sides, or something along those lines. I could be wrong as I am going off memory, but I believe they also state that orange camo does not qualify as it is not a 'solid' orange....

throw a thin orange vest over top of it

I never could understand the orange-blaze-camo thing. Different types of camo are supposed to blend in with the background, but where is this orange stuff suppose to blend in? Some dumb policy maker dreamed up another stupid rule to outlaw it....

Here in Ontario seems like everything is against some Act,.... we can't wear it!

Yes, you could do that...but the camo blaze by itself is not permitted.

 

[awndray]

It's not outlawed. You can indeed wear it. You just have to wear some solid blaze over it.

White-tail and such are red-green colourblind. It won't blend into the background seen by another hunter, but will as seen by Bambi. So goes the theory.

In Ontario before the blaze orange laws came into effect I wore a complete suite of Cabela's blaze orange/black camo. Other fella's used to tell me that in the bush they could spot the blaze orange a long way off but until I got close could not make out the figure of a man due to the camo pattern.
Since there is no game in the bush that is blaze orange I felt safe in being seen by others. By the time I wore that suite out the new laws were in effect and I was surprised to learn the blaze camo was outlawed when I went to replace it.
When you consider the feed back I received from others on my visibility over the years, it must have been a bunch of misinformed beaurecratic miscreadants making the decision to outlaw it. Which is par for course when it comes to governmental decision making.
