Blaze orange in turkey season sparks ongoing Pennsylvania debate
The Pennsylvania Game Commission faces a statewide debate over blaze orange rules adopted in 1992 to curb turkey hunting accidents. While the 100 to 250 square inch requirements have cut spring and fall incident rates and improved turkey bagging, turkey hunters oppose the rule, arguing it scares birds. A proposed revamp would trim orange display in fall areas and require a 100 square inch orange band near the hunter, but critics urge keeping or tightening the current standard. Legislative pressure and public support shape the commission’s move, with final outcomes unknown for a year.
