usa hunting laws

1. Slob orange: depends on the type of hunting one wishes to engage in. Unfortunately slob orange is required for most deer seasons with firearms.

2. Suppressors: depends on the type of hunting one wishes to engage in and, of course, the state or locality.
 
California (the most populated state) does not require blaze orange. There are so few hunting related human shootings that this has never been an issue. You are not required to wear blaze orange for upland hunting either but we do. We host a youth pheasant hunt for 100 youth hunters. They are required to wear orange and safety glasses.
 
most states disallow baiting, but some states do not.

I actually thought most states allowed it (for deer, at least) provided it was on private property. In my experience (and I hunt a lot of different states - I have VA, MD, VT, PA, SD, NC, OK and GA licenses this year - though some are just small game/bird licenses) most states allow baiting for deer on private property.
 
I can only speak for my game zone since I don't hunt all over the state and there are different rules for each zone.

SC requires something like 400 square inches of unbroken blaze orange (a hat or vest is considered to be sufficient) only during the gun season for deer. It's not required for primitive weapons season or any of the small-game / bird seasons.

Suppressors are not legal for hunting and baiting is not allowed in game zones 1-3 (it is legal on private land in the remainder of the state).
 
Here in Colorado you must wear orange BUT you CAN hunt with a suppressed rifle...no select fire or full auto but a suppressor is OK...have a copy of your registration papers with you as it is required under both State and Federal Law.
