... a University of Wisconsin-Madison textile expert performed experiments for the legislators and determined that blaze pink is just as visible as blaze orange in the wild.Which party? Is that your question? From the linked article, it looks bipartisan.

What an effing waste of time. Don't legislators of BOTH parties have something better to than this? How about repealing the prevailing wage law?
This would make the war on women much easier.
@paminwi, Legislators don't want to leave Madison, they'd have to forfeit their per diems. So, they think up creative ways, like this, to waste time and spend everyone else's money (Plus it pads their pension).
Taking the wife squirrel hunting:
Heather goes Squirrel Hunting
The question is, can the freaking DEER see pink better than orange? It's known they can't see orange, that's why it's the safety color and not yellow.
More choices is good.

We all know what's needed is more money to refute this and everything I disagree with. (as it were)
So pony up, cheapies. I'll be amongst you all in July and expect a helluva lot better than what I've been reading about here.
Crying out loud.
Any of you #%%* gamble?
What?
Not a single ><%#£* of all youse?
Yeah, We didn't (just) think so.
They bet the load on it.
They are betting the load again.
"What an effing waste of time. Don't legislators of BOTH parties have something better to than this? How about repealing the prevailing wage law?"
Think of it as *keeping the legislators busy* to prevent them from passing more laws that deserve being repealed. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good!
When, if enough passes come... By God then I will think numerous stratifying concurrences I had thought upon.
No matter if you shall like to have meant something unpolitical, shall that the waifness.
Crack was forced to comment, baited, worthy of lawsuits heretofore the unhearalded aspect ought alone to suffice to shake many-boots-not-in-rubble-but-only-yet. (perhaps.)
"Deer are essentially red-green color blind like some humans. Their color vision is limited to the short (blue) and middle (green) wavelength colors. As a result, deer likely can distinguish blue from red, but not green from red, or orange from red. Therefore, it appears that hunters would be equally suited wearing green, red, or orange clothing but perhaps slightly disadvantaged wearing blue."
Hey aid since Dianne talk bout count fiddy
Fuck fiddy.
White boy yo.
Fuck fiddy tAlk smack kills.
I kill as do other.
Where and why are the killings, for real, taking place.
Little cunt bitch dwarfs, again, superuncide.
So some dogs do hunt? Outstanding!
Women that hunt seldom vote Democrat. Blaze pink is silly, though.
Even Texas has a law on this, to my profound disappointment. I do admit to being curious as to why there's an exception for those hunting alligators, though.
If you're not smart enough to wear a bright color, you're self-nominating for, and probably deserve to win, a Darwin Award.
I dated a girl in college who always wore pink.
Not pink everything: just a pink men's Oxford shirt, always, collar popped, with pants of varying color, and shoes of varying color yet.
She was half-Japanese and her father was an architect.
We had sex a lot.
Sorry. Not much else to the story.

"It appears that hunters would be equally suited wearing green, red, or orange clothing but perhaps slightly disadvantaged wearing blue."
But it's not just, or even primarily a matter of what the deer sees, it's what colors are most visible to other hunters. You know, so you don't accidentally shoot other hunters or get shot yourself.
I've wondered why the most dangerous season isn't turkey hunting season. Wild turkeys can distinguish colors and have extremely keen sight, so hunters commonly wear head-to-foot camo (even turkey guns often have a camo pattern). That makes them harder for their fellow armed humans to spot.
Just as human ears can't hear some sounds, human eyes can't see some light. These invisible wavelengths include ultraviolet (beyond violet) and infrared (below red). Deer sense colors toward the violet end of the spectrum, so they can see blues and probably even ultraviolet (UV) light. Deer show a slight sensitivity to yellow, but tests indicate that green, orange, and red appear to them as shades of gray. -- John Barsness in "Field and Stream"
The visible spectrum from long to short wavelength is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, which in physics we memorized as Roy G. Biv (next we memorized the Main Sequence -- Oh, be a fine girl, Kiss me!) though our professor told us Newton wrongly identified indigo as a spectral color, and we'd be flunked if we persisted in his error. (Then we memorized the Standard Model -- up, down, strange, charmed, bottom and top -- without a damned mnemonic.)
Yellow light is shorter in wavelength and a higher frequency than orange, which in turn is shorter than red light. Pink isn't on the spectrum since it's a pigment and not a color, a mixture of red and white. Since red looks blackish to a deer, pink would likely be seen as grey, just as safety orange is perceived as gray, but perhaps brighter. They should try hot pink. Being more strongly red hot pink would likely be seen as a darker gray than light pink, and it's even stupider looking on the lady hunter (Ooo! My nasty old thirty-aught-six goes bang soooo loud. Fer sure, Buffy.)
I don't remember at all what color I was wearing when at age 8 I was first taught to shoot by my dad, my uncles and my grandfather present, at a family property in Illinois. My mom, my grandmother and a then-aunt were there, too, only up at the cabin, doing cabin stuff (my little brother was around, too, but he was at the cabin, because he wasn't yet old enough, and there were strict rules about that, given that time--;) ).
True story.
I've never been anti-gun, but rather only highly skeptical about and questioning of those who are stupid about guns, precisely because, in my experience, there is more than plenty of "the stupid" boldly displayed from and all across the spectrum.
My family was pretty smart about that, in their particular way of raising of me. I also was taught how to use at least some power tools, some knives, some sandpaper, some paint, and all sorts of other useful things. Also, I was taught how to cook, change a tire, music-read a lyric, appreciate others unlike myself, and eat my greens.
In other words: Put up, or with it.
Ah, but then I rebelled... .
This post should have a trigger warning ��

Pink and orange stripes for Bruce Jenner?
Locovores should be able to dress in a way that pleases them too.
I have some nice little ice fishing rods that are brightly colored and have LEDs in them that light when you crank the reel. Ladies seem to like them, men don't hate them.
Better matches Muddy Girl camouflage. Muddy Girl was explained to me the other day as being the hot thing for girls in red neck country. Local dollar and more store here has a gun section, and maybe 1/4 or so of the rifles and carbines had this pink camo design. Girls in particular, but also older women, will tell you that they don't have pink guns, but rather they are Muddy Girl camo. And, yes, Muddy Girl sells full outfits too. And a lot of other stuff. Woman behind the counter explained that her daughter had just gotten a MG rifle, was saving for a MG handgun, and she and her friends were wearing it to high school. I had just run into it a week or so earlier with articles on TheTruthAboutGuns.com blog.
Remember: Licenses are not required for hunting rapists, violent domestic violators, home invaders and other such critters.
Also, there is no "bag limit" for such kills.
Wild Turkey, 101 proof, killed some brain cells last night Katrina.
Thank God I have so many extra to spare.
Enough in fact to see a tort on their bottle.
"KENTUCKY straight BOURBON whiskey" it declaims, triggering suspisions of anti-homosexual intentions on Wild Turkey's behalf.
You pay me $7448 per month for twenty (20) years and we can put and end to this hate; I'll tell you how.
Night vision goggles are green because humans have evolved to see many different shades of green compared to any other color.
555 wavelengths bro.

Wearing pink is going to make me want to go hunting? Nope...hunger will. I think deer are beautiful and do not care to hunt them at this point in time.
I was taken still hunting on the edge of a Mississippi cotton field at Christmastime, and did not enjoy it. I was cold (which I hate) and did not care about the experience at all. No deer showed up, so it was a wash anyway.
I can fix venison many different ways, and while I prefer the taste of the still-hunted deer to that which has been run from dogs (so gamy!), it is generally not a meat I prefer. Last week, though, I tasted some decidedly not gamy ranch-raised Australian Red Deer...and it was delicious. I have also had fawn, which was killed by some backwoodsmen after they killed its mother....it tasted like veal.
Deer are beautiful until you drive around a bend in the 2 lane suburban road at 55mph in the late fall, with wet leaves all over and a herd of deer staring at your fast-approaching vehicle as if they hadn't lived there all their lives and could not imagine why that thing was racing at them and maybe it would be their friend?
Watching them finally try to move, hooves scraping futilely on the wet leaves like a cartoon character getting up to speed while not moving, as I controlled the skid with brakes locked despite ABS because wet leaves, and thank god I got stopped before I hit them, because the giant rodents sure did not move fast enough to avoid me.
Kill them. Kill them lots, every year, again and again and again each year.
I've never killed a deer, but I once killed a moose. With a rabbit. A VW rabbit.
And it was red, but not blazing red. (The rabbit that is, not the moose.)
This is a true story.
I am Largo.
My partner calls fawn meat "bambino". Heaven knows, we have enough of it around here in NW MT. still, haven't seen the doe we usually see by now with fawns. Years past, she has hand fed the doe and enticed it up on our porch. We have a young buck, but no doe and fawns.
Somehow, the pre-venisons know where the city limits are, which means where they are safe from hunters. Though you wouldn't know by looking, we are just inside the city limits, and thus have a deer problem. Just not nearly as bad as downtown, a mile or so east of here. They get esp bad by fall there, with driving through town this time of day taking at least their lives in your hand, and sometimes yours.
Which may be along way of saying that we may need a bit more deer hunting here to keep the vermin levels down.
Just as I expected.
