![]() ![]() ![]() Everyone in your party, including kids, should have blaze orange prominently displayed on their outfit (hat, vest, coat, etc).īlaze orange hats or beanies are really great to have - they’ll always be visible, even when your back is turned (as opposed to a shirt, which might not always be seen). If you have a dog with you, put a blaze orange vest on them. Hunters are required to wear blaze orange when hunting with a firearm - you should always wear blaze orange when hiking, biking, or walking through the woods during hunting season. Deer season has bow hunting days and regular (firearm) hunting days, but you should be equally careful during the entire season. The most popular hunting season is turkey and deer hunting seasons, which take place in October, November, and December here in the Catskills, so you want to be extra careful when hiking during those months. The New York State DEC has a detailed map of the different hunting seasons for different game for the 2021-22 season here. Hunting season starts in the fall, depending on the type of game being hunted. If you’re visiting from an area where hunting isn’t popular, you want to make sure to educate yourself on hiking safety during this time of year as you share the woods with other outdoorspeople, including hunters. Fall is a gorgeous time of year in the Catskills, and it’s when outdoors enthusiasts of all types enjoy the natural beauty of our surroundings. ![]()
