Why Won’t Men Wear Hot Pink While Hunting?

“I might get a little razzing for wearing pink,” says Clements, a construction contractor. “My friends will absolutely give me a lot of crap. But they give me a lot of crap anyway.”

...Matt Davis, the founder and owner of Final Rise, initially stayed away from offering gear in pink. “There’s a lot of gals out there that just get pissed off whenever you throw pink on something,” he says. “They feel it’s downgrading them as hunters, that they’re not as good as guys.”

“To me it was not a gender issue, it was a safety issue,” he adds. “A dead hunter is a dead hunter, not a macho hunter.”

Greg Howdeshell, a hunter in Dallas, shuns the thought of wearing pink. “I think I would get shot here in Texas if I get caught hunting in pink,” he say

Nobody around here wears orange to hunt, let alone pink.

This guy is aware that hunters can wear orange, right?

They don’t want to dress like 12-year-old girls?

For the same reason they don’t wear it while not hunting.

********
1. Hunting is not dangerous enough to require hunters to adopt an LGBT mode of dress like pink in the name of safety.

2.For safety, lots of hunters wear orange.

Absent from the visible spectrum and neither a wave nor a particle, the color pink is, for many, a scientific enigma:

I consider that adding insult to injury. This grandma loves pink! Being a Parachutist Over Forty, I also appreciate a good cut-away knife. LOL.

How many times have we read about hunters shooting hunters? Very, very rarely. We do know that if they were shooting one another the leftist press would board it around the world. I swear they make hunters wear orange saw the game wardens can find them for potential violations.

It is a “solution” without a problem.

Saw a neighbor’s two teenage boys wearing pink pussyhats one day. Nearly puked.
