Women are the only real growing group in hunting. At one of the Washington Waterfowl Association meetings the number of 8% female growth vs static in men was presented by A WDFW employee.  ANYTHING that helps promote the sport even as minor as this is a win. lots of other states have made this change.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I voted no for two reasons:

1.  I would like to see the rules kept with WDFW as opposed to actual legislation in order to remain nimble and be able to more easily address things like future changes to things like orange camo, what seasons, etc.  If it goes this way, every change will require new legislation.

2.  I see no need for pink.  I like to keep things simple and traditional unless there is a reason to change.  My daughter wears orange and doesn't think this is necessary and wouldn't keep her from hunting or make her hunt more.  As a parent, I like the fact that we both understand clearly orange means serious safety stuff, not fashion.  I would prefer to not combine the two.

Stereotyping of female hunters?

"Jean Bergerson, past president of Minnesota-based Women Hunting & Fishing in All Seasons, echoed the support for safety, but also the unease with the color potentially being seen as an attractant to women and girls.

“I don’t care what color it is as long as it’s safe,” Bergerson said. “But I guess what disturbs me a little is there should be far more reasons for women to go outdoors and explore hunting and shooting than because you can wear pink. It kind of implies women are so shallow that all they want is pink.”
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

This is something that is better done under WAC.  Much easier to change if needed.

I agree with this  :yeah: takes the safety part out of any NO reasoning.There have been a few times in the woods where it looked like hunter orange and was not.Nothing in the woods can be confused with pink.Now onto the important question,,,,,,They say that deer and elk can't see the orange,Can they see the pink?Marketing wise if they can sell more product because women want pink then so what.This is spreading across the country and i like that they are considering the women on this.

As to the making women look shallow,that sounds a little like CNN trying to make everything Trump says or does look feminist.  :twocents:

Should add a hunter orange requirement for all afield during big game modern firearm, hunting or not.

No, the government shouldn't be telling random people how to dress.

Not random.  People using the regulated lands.

Nothing more American than making a legal dress code for the general population. Keep up the anti-government fight!

Why is this needed if it is already required to wear orange.  Many neon colored clothes that are bright work just as well as orange, but they aren't legal.  We have some great bright pink, Seahawk's green and yellow clothes that stick out like a strobe light but they can't be used.  I voted no because it is already a rule by someone, no need for a double rule which just confuses things.

1) there not pushing it as a need.

2)not a new rule just an allowed article(more rights)

3)not confusing at all(if someone can't figure this one out they should just continue with orange)

                                               :twocents:

 The more people on our side(hunters) in any hunting issue is better for all.

Seems to me they should be working more on what exactly "hunter orange" "hunter pink" is.  I see guys out there with orange that might have been "hunter orange" years ago but has now been washed, sun faded or dirt covered and is now just plain old orange.
