Question about the blaze orange requirements...
From TPWD: "All persons on public hunting lands (state, national forests, and grasslands) during daylight hours when hunting with firearms is permitted must wear at least 400 square inches of hunter orange material with orange headgear, and at least 144 square inches appearing on both chest and back."
Say it's after deer season (like it is now), but squirrel and rabbit season are going on. Does that mean you have to wear blaze orange if you're on a piece of public land that allows squirrel and rabbit hunting, even if you're not hunting? I'm probably reading into this too much, but you never know

JMKro - public areas sometimes have additional rules accompany the TPWD rules. For example in the Sam Houston National Forest, you only have to wear orange while hunting, so hikers would not be required to wear hunter orange even during the hunting season (which for hogs in most places means year round). At 711 they don’t approve of hiking on the PHL without orange.

Another question on the blaze orange thing...
Since the rules state
fails to visibly wear at least 400 square inches of hunter orange material with orange headwear and at least 144 square inches appearing on both chest and back during daylight hours at times when hunting with firearms is permitted.
