Legislature adds hunter pink to hunters' safety options

To require people wear bright colors or to add pink to color options?
I didn't know it was a law, I just thought it was something near sighted dorks wear.

I wonder if road crews will soon be wearing pink

 

[Flymph]

I think they should just apply all neon colors, because I think electric blue is being discriminated against!

Had some "pink" in camp once.......a long time ago....

It's so they can point and say, "See, no one talking about taking guns away, we are hunters and support the 2nd Amendment.

Classic use of misdirection!

My first look at the title and I thought some porn star named Hunter Pink was having some event in WA.

 

[edslhead]

On second thought, maybe it doesn't look that bad

If it gets more women hunting I'm for it.

A simple call to the Fish and Game Department requesting a Letter will properly answer your question.

They could be color blind...
Still no excuse. One of my fishing partners was shot while doing a push for one of his high school friends who had never hunted before. He shot at movement instead of identifying is target.

Helps to count the points too. It seems to me their making light of the importance of Hunter Orange being like a STOP sign. Most of us could do without it but like you say there are those few

Whatever makes hunters feel safer and makes hunting safer. There are a lot of people that hunt that shouldn't. If pink stands out, and keeps someone from shooting someone else, pink it is.

The bill was sponsored by Sen Lynda Wilson (r-Vancouver), and avid hunter and huge 2A supporter, who has also spent the entire legislature session enduring chemo therapy for cancer. She was awarded legislator of the year by the Safari Club, she's being featured on a hunting show where...she kills a massive elk...that is mounted in her office in Olympia. Personally, I'd cut her (and the bill) some slack...

Not a huge fan of "Hunter safety Pink" , or Orange , if the truth be known...
But if it gets more folks to be gun owners and hunters , than I can live with it.

Its still ridiculous to mix fashion and breast cancer awareness with hunter safety colors. She may be a great person but I just don't get it. Now I'm off to get some new clothes

I like pink, it's purty...

If some gals, and others, want to wear pink and it satisfies new requirements, it's fine with me.

I started wearing orange at some point, then stopped wearing an orange vest or sweatshirt because I got tired of being scoped. Seems like every yahoo in the forest needs to check you out, by pointing their rifle at you, when you are that visible. There is such a thing as being TOO visible. I started wearing an orange ballcap or a orange knit hat... something I could take off when the road warriors are out.
