What is the main purpose of wearing hunter orange?

  1. To help other hunters see you

  2. For fashion within the hunting community

  3. To scare away wildlife

  4. It's a legal requirement but serves no safety purpose

The correct answer is: To help other hunters see you

Hunter orange, also known as blaze orange, is a highly visible color that stands out against natural colors in the wilderness, making it easier for other hunters to see you and avoid accidents. While fashion may play a small role in some hunters' decision to wear it, the main purpose of hunter orange is for safety. Scaring away wildlife is not the primary purpose and in some cases, hunters may want to remain undetected by animals. Furthermore, wearing hunter orange is not just a legal requirement, but it serves a crucial safety purpose in the hunting community.
