Pink\u201d \u2013 coming to a woods near you.\u00a0 Yup, you read it correctly, blaze pink may be the newest color to join blaze orange on hunters in one of the nation\u2019s most popular deer hunting states.\u00a0 The recent proposal was brought about by a group of bipartisan Wisconsin legislators called the Sportsman\u2019s Caucus, who are dedicated to protecting Wisconsin\u2019s outdoor heritage.Here at Legendary Whitetails, the growing number of women interested in hunting has been no secret, and thus has been the fastest growing clothing line in recent years.\u00a0 Now, blaze pink may have the chance to not only be a fashion statement, but also a viable option for hunters to wear in the woods.\u00a0 The purpose of the proposal: To encourage more women to try hunting.While this may be a bright idea (pun intended), the issue at hand is still how effective the color is at keeping hunters safe.\u00a0 Enter Dr. Majid Sarmadi, a leading color scientist from the University of Wisconsin.\u00a0 He conducted a series of experiments to determine if blaze pink was as safe as blaze orange.\u00a0 After a variety of tests comparing the two colors on the human eye, Dr. Sarmadi concluded blaze pink is equally, if not, more visible than blaze orange.\u00a0 Additionally, pink is even harder for a deer to see because it\u2019s further from the color yellow (a color deer can see) on the color spectrum.I\u2019m a guy, so I\u2019ll stick to my blaze orange, but I have no problem with this being passed.\u00a0 However, some folks, including women are taking this as an insult.\u00a0 From reading other articles on the subject I\u2019ve seen comments like this:\u00a0\u201cThis is so ridiculous!\u00a0 Apparently blaze orange is what\u2019s holding women back from hunting\u2026\u201d\u201cHere\u2019s a tip, if you want to appeal to a female base, maybe start respecting them.\u201d\u201cIf they want to encourage more women to try hunting, insulting women by such meaningless legislation is not going to do it.\u201d\u00a0Whoa, whoa, whoa, what\u2019s all the fuss about?Those are just a few of the brazen comments I saw, now I\u2019ll give you mine.\u00a0 Good for the Sportsman\u2019s Caucus!\u00a0 Why people are getting their undies in a bundle over this, I have no idea.\u00a0 The science and my own eyes say it\u2019s plenty visible, so why not cater to the women of the outdoors?\u00a0 The way I see it, is that the color alone may not get more females to hunt like the proposal states, but rather it caters to women who by the way are the fastest growing hunting demographic!According to a FOX 6 report, females accounted for 35 percent of adults and 36 percent of juniors who bought deer hunting licenses for the first time ever or the first time in 10 years in 2014.I\u2019d have to say, if it passes in Wisconsin, my guess is other states won\u2019t be far behind, but only time will tell if blaze pink will be the new hot color you\u2019ll be seeing in the woods and buying for your wife, daughter or yourself.\u00a0\u00a0 After all, they say real men wear pink.As far as I see it, anything that gets more people involved with hunting when recent participation levels have been dropping, is a good thing.\u00a0 One things for sure, it sure as heck isn\u2019t going to scare people away.So, are you in favor of permitting blaze pink as a legal hunting color? "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/community.legendarywhitetails.com\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Legendary
