Assembly passes bill allowing blaze pink hunting gear
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Hunters in Wisconsin may soon beheading into the woods wearing bright pink clothing. The state Assembly on Tuesday passed the measure that allowsfluorescent pink to be worn while hunting. Current law requires at least halfof the clothing that gun deer hunters wear above the waist to be blaze orange. Bill backers say the measure will encourage more women totake up hunting, give hunters more clothing options and give apparelmanufacturers a boost. According to the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses,no state has legalized blaze pink for hunting clothing. Wisconsin's bill still has to pass the Senate and be signedby Gov. Scott Walker before becoming law. It passed the Assembly on a voicevote without debate.
If only they bring their new wardrobe with them when the cross the border, I see a number of benefits:
1. You can make sure to park your vehicle at a safe distance.
2. The game wardens will have probable cause for a game/fish check.
3. You will be able to spot which lakes will be fished out by the end of the winter.
I'm sure there are more, but those 3 come to mind right away.
