The state of Illinois requires hunters to wear solid blaze orange or blaze pink. Use the colors when wearing caps and upper outer garments. The wardrobe needs to have at least 400 square inches of the selected colors. You have to follow this when hunting deer in all firearm seasons. When tracking wounded deers with a dog, you must also wear the colors. Individuals with young hunters must also follow it. Camouflage varieties never meet the requirements.
