The whole blaze PINK thing was the brain child of a liberal Democrat (Nick Milroy) from South Range, WI (basically Superior, WI). Backed up by Republican Joel Kleefisch, from the Madison area.
Milroy has said that "according to DR. Majid Sarmadi a UW-Madison Human Ecology professor who specialised in colors. That Hot pink not only stood out MORE than orange but was also less visible to deer."
This qoute was taken from the 10-16-15 issue of the Wisconsin Outdoor News. The article was on page 12 of that issue and continued to page 13.
I'm undecided about the issue that isn't an issue. If as JW said. Its been dropped, its only for now. It will be brought up again, and again.

Being a guy, I thought I would try to get a feminine opinion on this. So I asked my wife, a female, (what with this same-sex marriage thing, we'll have to start identifying the sex of our "wives.") whether she thought girls would be more attracted to hunting if they could wear "hunter pink."
She said she thought that girls, including herself, would like the idea of wearing "hunter pink," (she's very girly even though she is a better shot than I am) but that the idea that it would attract more females to hunting was pretty silly.
So there's one female opinion.

For me it would be a mental thing I would have to get over.
As unnatural as blaze orange is, when I see someone in a blaze orange cap, I automatically think of the outdoors and deer hunting. I guess oak and maple leaves can be kind of orange in the fall. Maybe that adds to it.
When I think of pink I think of things that are urban and unnatural. Like neon signs. Seeing that in the woods would remind me of everything I am trying to escape from.
Again, lime green is not really natural either, but it does not bother me as much a pink for whatever reason. Maybe it is because green is often used to represent nature.

If the colors of fluorescent orange,pink, and lime green can be equally identified at the same distances and light conditions then I do not have an issue with any of the colors. I have never seen a deer in any of those colorations, secondly I have always identified sex of the animal prior to launching any projectile.
I too wore hunter red and green plaid during deer season for many years and could discern hunters that wore those colors.
What I do not like is the long distance identification of a hunters sex by the color they are wearing. Though there may be a few males wearing pink but the majority would be women and I just don't like what that could produce.
