Good day Mr. Morrison. I've read several threads already about hunter orange. I see it states you must wear at least one article of orange clothing. I've hunted in KY my whole life and you need both head and chest coverage. My reading on this in Indiana is either of the two. Is that correct that it's only one item of clothing be orange during Deer Season. I believe it's only one article during other seasons but I'm mainly referring to the law for Deer when using a firearm? thanks for your time.
