The history of the 3" law is interesting, but we are talking about the future and not the past. Its a tradition based onthe facts at that time, yes, but that was a much differnet time. You even stated yourself its based on conditions of the early 1900's.The herd was long ago restored and managing the herd has longreplaced expantion of the herd. I don't understand where I "re-wrote" history...but some in NYare trying to change the future. History of NY hunting means nothing on this argument except traditon. Off course I don't advocate shooting 2" spikes. I simply played DA to make a point.
