Yes, they are hunters of some sort. Like beer hunters, only different.

I’d sooner hunt in a fur coat than this.
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.
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.”
********
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:
Saw a neighbor’s two teenage boys wearing pink pussyhats one day. Nearly puked.
Years ago research was done by the Coast Guard on what kind of survival suit is most visible. The answer was PINK, not the usual International Orange. So, oil companies in the North Sea rolled out the PINK survival suits (Gumby Suits they were called). They were roundly rejected. People also called them BRU, Body Recovery Units since life expectancy was not all that long in them anyway. All the shortness of life expectancy were were taught in survival school in Aberdeen made me wonder how anyone could have possibly survived a sinking in the wars on the Murmansk Run or any other in such an environment.
For some hunters, it is due to laws.
“Orange Requirement. During the firearm deer season in Georgia, all deer, bear and feral hog hunters (as well as those accompanying them) must wear at least 500 square inches of Hunter (Blaze) Orange on outer garments, above the waist.”
Wouldn't be construction work without it ! :-)
Why? Because it “shows” dirt.
It was probably ‘Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney’s PR firm that came up with the idea.
Green is the last color seen at night before it “gray’s out”. A neon green and blue stripe/pattern would be better.
I’m going to keep on wearing brown with a set of antlers.
But I wear a red nose because nobody would shoot Rudolph.
All you need to know is the Seattle part. At least he hunts. That pink doesn’t look as visible to me as the standard orange hunters are used to watching for. Maybe the pink is for trans-hunters. We own some heavily wooded land that borders 8,000 acres of BLM. It’s hunting season so the wife and I wear our orange hats there now so any hunters who accidentally cross our property line will hopefully see us. Fencing a quarter-mile in heavy woods would be expensive. My private access road has a sign when you go through our gate that reads “If you can read this you are in range.”
Pink became associated with baby boys around the time of the First World War, and then associated with baby girls around the time of the second. It was a marketing gimmick. There may have been deeper cultural trends behind the change — somebody blamed Hitler and his pink triangles — but don’t underestimate the power of advertising.
The regulations say nothing about "blaze pink"....
