Reaper,I fail to see the wisdom after my 40 years in the woods that taking a competency test to see if I can hit a pie plate at 20 yds is going to make me a better hunter.How do you suggest we stop the fella that took his hunter ed course last week and stopped into the shop this week to pick out his gear and tommorrow he is hitting the big woods for the first time.Maybe we should have legislation drawn up to stop these people.Seems you must have forgot that you started once but of course with my head up my ass I couldn't have seen that you were born with a bow in your hand.God forbid you wound an animal with all your experience,they would just have to pull the plug on all of us.
