I just changed my moniker to promote my new blog. I don't think Dove qualifies as upland -- at least I hope not, because wearing an orange cap is going to cut down your shooting opportunities quite a bit. I see no mention of "Upland Game Bird" in the WRC Regs, but I could just be missing it. But they do list migratory game birds as dove, rails, woodcock, snipe or waterfowl.

However, if I was bowhunting on public land during rifle season, I'd wear orange while walking - whether it is law or not. In fact, whenever I find myself turkey hunting on public land, I always wear a patch of orange until I actually set up. I'd hate to be the biggest turkey some goof ever bagged.

I too wear a fair amount of orange while rabbit hunting but if I was bow hunting deer I'd see no need.

I agree that orange doesn't make anyone safer, but I always wear a cap and vest while rabbit hunting because I want the idiot that shoots me to feel very guilty.
