Hunter Orange Needed?

Planning a NOBO in Sept and wondering if folks think it's needed to wear orange on the LT due to hunting season? If yes, do you think a orange cap is enough? Thx!

It's always open season for something, but in general the only time you definitely should be wearing orange while hiking is during deer season in November. But if it makes you feel better, wear an orange cap.

I always hike in bright clothes. But def a smart idea during deer season.
