MADISON, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) Hunters, get ready to see pink. Governor Scott Walker has signed a bill that allows hunters to wear blaze pink in the woods as well as blaze orange.
Lawmakers of both parties proposed the measure, after a Madison expert showed that blaze pink jackets create the same type of high visibility as the blaze orange that hunters have had to wear for decades to boost hunter safety. Supporters say blaze pink would encourage more women to go hunting. There was some debate about that, but not enough to prevent both houses from passing the measure on voice votes last year.
