Never been to San Francisco, I'd wear pink wool if it was free, my Danner's do have a heel but I wouldn't call it "high", I strictly use a bow quiver but not sure if my bison gear would be considered a purse or not...never seen a purse that could pack out 50#'s of bloody meat but you show me a good one cheap and I'll buy it for my wife. You'll have to ask Rob about the earrings, I got rid of mine years ago. His do dangle a might...but I've never seen them get in the way of his anchor.

Nice come back.I have no problem with shooting a pink fletching.If it works I want it and if the wool was free I would wear it to.

Team Pink has a large following...from the Tri State Terrors to the bunch of rabbit hunters at the Joan Leonard Memorial weekend....Pretty popular...

Besides...the only time I see Pink in the woods...my arrows...surveyor tape...and pink frothy foam on my arrow....

Holy Smokes.... anyone tough enough to smile after a saber tooth tiger lost a claw in his ear is man enough to use pink fletching in my hunting camp any time he wants.  Your welcome in Oregon any time!

MAN!  That gives new meaning to having a pierced ear!

I once had a hatchet stuck in my left knee, but it was tough getting around.  Now all I have is the scar to remind me.

Back in the early 50s VW came out with a colar that they called Salmon. For three years was thiear biggest seller on the little Bugs.

In Montana we called it pink..

Drove the bug all through high school..

Looks like I,ll be trying a batch of those Salmon feathers....

Later....Buzz

Rob, I'm going to have to look into the one  thru the bridge of the nose...that looks like it would keep my glasses in the right spot   :biglaugh:  

Here is a new combo I'm going to try out Thanksgiving week.  Again with and without flash with my reflective "crest":
