I have to wear blaze in my state. I find it a classless requirement to have it on under virtually all circumstances. I view Blaze as a necessary evil in the name of safety when the hunt dictates it should exist. (e.g. quail hunting with 3-4 hunters, etc.)

What I think is missed in all of this is that the government has deemed all hunters to be imbeciles that need these rules to be safe. In most of the civilized world people shoot safely without blaze or dare I say, even in proper field attire. The difference? Rules of etiquette. I rather enjoy a clear-cut understanding of the rules and field positions to be taken by the hunters whereas it seems that blaze is a proxy for safe planning of how the field is to be hunted.

Again, I don't think blaze is always inappropriate, I do think that States treating us like ignorant hunters that need protecting is offensive.
