Say NO to pink!

Nicely composed letter Buckrub! Gets to the heart of the real issue which is lawmakers meddling in natural resources/hunting/fishing management with agenda's that are defined and motivated by political self-interest.

The main issue is that its just a ploy to try and get more women into hunting but it does not address any of the reasons why some women currently do not hunt. Not an issue if you can see it or not, but I would still stand by what I said as true. More of a side point that I don't care much about. Ice fisherman would know that if they ever had to watch tipups on a sunny day with orange flags.

I remember when blaze orange was being discussed, and then instituted. Every one came up with brilliant ideas why blaze orange was such a bad idea. If you can't pick out blaze pink out of the natural surrounding's, please stay out of the woods. I don't want to be shot by some one that can't tell the difference.

Right on mikieb. I have been wondering the same thing. Another great example of the politicization of our fish and game regulations and management.

I think every one is missing the real argument over this whole pink issue...

The state legislature has time to debate blaze pink... back tag rules and preference points for bears....

I ask you WHY ?

What do we employ all these good folks at the DNR for ? They are all highly educated, smart and capable of running and making decisions for the good of the state wildlife and hunting and fishing on their own.

If the state legislature has extra time on their hands maybe they could spend that in taking budget balancing classes or maybe some grade school math class where they teach some subtraction and figure out how to spend less.

The state legislature needs to occupie it's self with a higher porpoise than the DNR rules.

The dumb idea took a step forward yesterday when it passed the Assembly. On to the Senate.

Just goes to show that a degree does not mean all that much LOL! Been saying that for years.

What about the people hunting up north in snow? Snow already reflects light making it bright on the eyes. If the pink is lighter than the orange I'd think the pink would show up worse in that case.

Just waiting for the ok!

Tim T- Thats exactly what im talking about. Thank you

Did anyone happen to read about testimony during the Public Hearing on this bill earlier this week?

Someone who associated themself with the UW said that from his studies, blaze pink would show up better against the fall colors than orange. Huh? Last time I checked there weren't many leaves left on trees during deer season. Maybe some old, rusty oaks but that's it.

I do realize that there is an early youth season but that's only two days.

This is a dumb idea. I thought the Legislature was working hard on job creation?
