RE: What the F#$%
It defies ALL reason that a state can staff andmanage a Fish and Game department to manage the fish and animals within its borders and enforce state laws pertaining to the harvesting of those animals; BUT any town or city within that state can pass local ordinances that completey override the state laws.When the state set laws for legaldistance from dwellings hunting laws or legal weaponsfor appropriate seasons then to have a pocket of people completely make it illegal to hunt because they don't like it seems to me to beso fundamentally wrong. Towns and cities can't make and enforce thier own seatbelt or helmet laws?A town cannot make an ordinance that allows for the use of firearms during archery season. I KNOW a town can not make an ordinance that allows fish to be harvested out of season on their local ponds.... so HOW do they get to make illegal a completely legal and state managed program such as hunting and the harvesting of animals?
I don't know how they do it, but here in the east some states have dozens of towns and cities that have completely made it illegal to hunt, even on private lands that have 10 times the legal minimum distance to hunt as set by their state hutning laws. Those who say vote and it will fix things, it doesn't work. Unless people haven't noticed, in many areas of the country, the hunting communityis in the minority.
Dude, I feel your pain. In the end.. you may just have to move. I did.
