Honestly, just by making something pink doesn't make me as a girl want to buy the merchandise. I do appreciate the fact that there are starting to be a few more options for women in hunting clothing as far as sizing.

It is more important to take women out hunting and integrate them into our community then the color they wear.<br /><br />I also agree with you about women specific hunting clothing. Although the industry has come a long way in this regard it is still to little.<br /><br />The one refreshing difference, in my opinion,isOthmar Vohringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878585333406793550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-62091389600997649582009-08-19T15:19:55.446-07:002009-08-19T15:19:55.446-07:00Color isn't important in things like fishing, ...Color isn't important in things like fishing, but hunting is a different matter. It makes a huge difference in our success. There is a reason why hunters wear camo in the bush..because it is going to get more deer. <br />This isn't a gender thing, it is a deer thing.<br />There are other ways for the manufacturers to get the ladies attentions.

Like having a pink fishing pole, pink broadheads or a pink gun.. no one will ever mistake them for my husbands. And, the fact that many companies do give a percentage of the profit to cancer research is a wonderful bonus!Deer Passionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11095184103945969859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-59727791883512369962009-08-19T05:24:04.465-07:002009-08-19T05:24:04.465-07:00I don't have a problem with the pink wave at a...I don't have a problem with the pink wave at all, and although my wife isn't a pink gadget fan, she doesn't have anything against women who do use them.

I will say that when my sons were catching 2'-3' long gar a few weeks ago, it was on a pink fishing rod that belongs to their cousin.<br /><br />I myself have caught fish on a custom-made purple rod with an image of the Little Mermaid on it!Matthttp://www.brightideablog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-37097623576491469132009-08-18T19:19:01.264-07:002009-08-18T19:19:01.264-07:00That boy was just glad he was able to fish no matt...That boy was just glad he was able to fish no matter what color the rod was and it was mighty generous to offer him your rod so he did not have to share one with his brother. <br /><br />You might be on to something with pink becoming the new hunter orange. Studies have actually shown that deer see pink less good then they do hunter orange.<br /><br />-ov-Othmar Vohringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878585333406793550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21678075.post-54833099529941751582009-08-18T19:05:57.216-07:002009-08-18T19:05:57.216-07:00Something else convenient about pink hunting/fishi...Something else convenient about pink hunting/fishing gear: it suits the 'his and hers' mentality.<br />I don't mind saying I like knowing what's <b> <i>my</i></b> stuff out of all that jumble of gear my husband has for fishing and hunting since we keep it together.<br />Give it time and pink won't be an issue anymore- we went fishing last week and since I wasn't catching H.I.Koehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678511391649862699noreply@blogger.com
