I have a goofy question I can't find a clear answer for online. I haven't done any hunting on public land before. So is an APH permit the same as a WMA permit??? Also, are you required to wear hunters orange while bow hunting??? I will be hunting from a pop up blind.

The APH permit gives you access to WMA's . I do not believe you have to wear hunter orange as long as it is archery only season.

Where do you purchase the APH permit at?

I called two different Academys and they had no idea what an APH permit was.

Call it a "type 2 hunting permit" and they will

if there is any any squirrel hunting going on you better have some orange on. or have some with you. got a ticket a few yrs back under the assumption that it wasnt needed for bow hunting only. game warden said since squirrel hunting was still in season that we needed orange. $150 ticket. if your on public lands just have it and take it off when you get to your stand or hunting area. not worth the ticket.
