For most of October there's no requirement for orange here in ME. But Larry's point is very good. There's the first weekend of deer season in Oct, of course, but there are also zone-specific, variable weeks of moose season to consider. Bird hunters are required to wear one piece of orange during these (vs 2 during deer season........whatever). I wear my orange Filson hat throughout Oct mainly b/c I want my buddy to see me in dense stuff. He wears orange, too, and I appreciate it.
