there is no requirement for anyone to wear hunter orange when NOT hunting at any time. You should of refused the warning, and called the Montgomery office to report such actions. A warning ticket can only be given for a violation of reg/law that the officer deems a warning sufficient to handle the violation.
IF an Officer wrote such a warning, or ticket, he needs supervisory attention.

I should have made this more clear. He gave me a verbal warning, not a written. But he did make me load up the puppies and my nephew, and told me if he caught us back down there on a "gun hunt day" without orange he would write a ticket. I didn't know if I was in the right or wrong at the time, I don't hunt WMA's.
I found it hard to believe that everyone on the river that day was required to wear orange.
