Krisken-After all that yelling I still have not heard one good reason that says a proficiency test will improve the sport. You are right on in that you can't legislate ethics so what is all this testing talk for? I think we have an emotional discussion without much logic behind it. Your 10 year old can pass the shooting test now so I rest my case. Any dork can shoot a pie plate but not everyone understands how to hunt with skill. How will any test get that across? I just think that if we all talk about the lousy people in the sport and push to pass a bunch of useless laws then it will just feed the antis who want to help us by passing all the laws they can. No offense to anyone here but I love to hunt and disagree with you about how to help it out. Good hunting.
