I usually wear an orange hat and an orange bandanna around my neck.
When I fish in/on SGL's frequented by hunters from Metro NJ or NY, I have an orange vest I'll throw on to get me safely back to my car when it starts to sound like Chicago on a weekend...
When thinking of hunting in PA, I always think of this cartoon from "To Hell With Hunting," by Ed Zern:

Without signage at SGL access areas, how would a person who doesn't purchase a hunting license know of this rule?
I don't think I'll be wearing orange during the spring turkey season, which is explicitly stated in the article. I'm sorry, but I don't give a damn. I'm not always going to start packing orange when I leave for a fishing trip. Fine me.
There are several game lands where I like to fish where I've NEVER SEEN A HUNTER.

I wish that lady in Delaware was wearing some kind of orange, it might well have made the difference. I don't think she was aware of a special early antlerless season on that property though. Plus, it happened at about 7:40PM.
If you were to be cited and it went to a hearing, the magistrate/judge might tell you: ignorantia juris non excusat.
But only if he speaks Latin..

Ignorantia sit beatitudo, until anyone who harasses a hunter must also wear orange.

I will wear orange - I usually do but after reading the bulletin posted by @Bamboozle, we're burying the lead.
Reading the language, the whole bulletin only applies to persons NOT engaged in lawful hunting, trapping or FISHING on State game lands:
"The commission also amends § 135.41(c)(21) to extend this same date range to the fluorescent orange requirement applicable to persons not engaged in lawful hunting, trapping or fishing on State game lands."
The bulletin uses that language at least three times including the opening paragraph. It seems to me they're targeting all SGL users during hunting season that aren't hunting, trapping, or fishing: people on horses, hiking, tending to their marijuana crop, digging for buried treasure?
Not a lawyer but that's my interpretation.
