The following links are for my Maine location, but you should be aware of your hunting laws. Humans and dogs not wearing the right colors increase their risk of being shot during hunting season. The following is the link to Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife:
2007 Hunting Season (by list of seasons by animal, and by hunting equipment)
ME Land Owner Permission Form Required
If you live in areas where hunting is legal, you should be updated on the dates. Although, I wear the color orange as often as I remember too. There has been poaching on and around our land. Keep you and your canine companions safe. In addition to having them wear orange, do not let them loose and wandering the neighborhood. Have your dog trained so you can recall him at the first site of trouble whether it's a hunter, another animal, a car, or whatever.
An additional danger during hunting season is the carcasses and parts that can be left by a hunter. These can be poisonous to your dog. Be aware of your surroundings, and what your dog is getting into to.
