What was their motivation for this ?
Normally a "no discharge" ordinance is enacted in heavily populated areas such as urban , none of those places sound like they're heavily populated . Dayum ! It's hard enough to get a place to hunt down there without pols stealing your remaining opportunity . I considered moving down there once , the lack of hunting availability other than expensive leasing killed that for me .
