Where can I find an orange vest with a camo pattern on it?

[uneasy_rider]

I am looking for an orange vest with a camo pattern superimposed. Having a hard time. Would prefer not to buy from Ebay.

Does anyone know where I can find one? I have checked the usual online suspects and cant seem to find one.

Gander mountain is where I purchased mine this year. It was out of fleece so it did not make noise when I moved.

U_R,

Make sure you check your state hunting regs. I know that the orange with camo pattern does NOT meet the 400 sq in solid blaze orange requirement here in Illinois.

Also not legal in Missouri.

Does that 400square inches be all in one garment?
i know that in virginia the requirement is 100sq inches and is bet by a plain baseball cap

maybe you could wear the vest and cap together?

Also not legal on Colorado...

But in my state, you can hunt deer in full ghillie if you want. Go figure.

Has anyone ever had a warden measure your square inches of orange?

Try Covert Orange

If you want the camo pattern to break up the big signature of the vest - perhaps try the products from COVERT ORANGE. Supposedly they are created in a way that does not appear as a large bright blob to animals.

I'm not sure if/how they work, but I thought it was worht the price of a vest to try it out. I have had a lot of deer within 15 yards of me this year without their knowing it, but can't necessarily say if the vest played a part or not.

No, in fact it doesn 't even say that you have to have it front and back. So a 20x20 swatch of Blaze Orange pined to your back and your good to go.

IL Regs also state a solid blaze orange cap which the CO's who teach Hunter Ed with me state that means a PLAIN (no advertising, cute sayings, or other patches/embroidery on it). But they also say most CO's won't hassle you if you're wearing a orange hat with "Billy Bob's Tractor Sales and Feed Store" as long as it's more orange then advertising.
