Just booked myself for the last week of Nov. Will be hunting with locals, so I can be somewhat naive when I'm there. My question is whether the white suit with red/orange hat is mandatory or not. Seems to be worn quite abit in most photos. Anything else in advice (other than it's freezing cold!) is appreciated.
Thanks, Ranger.

If you are hunting during rifle season (which by the dates you are going) you will have too.

Quote:
Individuals hunting big game during a rifle season are now required to wear a suit of scarlet, bright yellow, blaze orange, white or any combination of these colours from the waist up only. Hunters are still required to wear headwear of any of the colours listed, except white
- From the Sask Environment site.

IF you go HERE you can download the regs to give a heads up on all the requirements.

Thanks, Duke
I just ordered the white suit from Cabelas. Got it one size bigger so I can layer up. Was told to get it a little dirty before the hunt. That shouldn't be a problem.

Question

Instead of getting it dirty get a bottle of UV killer and coat it -- no animal in the world can see white on white if there is no UV light on the clothes.
