Don....on the surface it would seem that way.....BUT....I'll ask you, AGAIN...

What happened to dove hunting in MI?

What happened to bear hunting in NJ?

Can it happen, anywhere?

I'm NOT against you, here. I believe we're strong, too.....but all it's gonna take is the wrong politician or the wrong JUDGE (for you lefty - legislate from the bench, types) to see what we hold dear ABOLISHED!
I disagree. We will always have some arguing with whether a certain species should be hunted due to speciespopulation and peoples belief as to whether it should be called a hunted species. We have tried for years to get a dove season in IA. Bird feeder and bird lovers whined over it and it has not been allowed as it is classified as a songbird. The bear issue sparks alot of peoples blood because of whether feel it a population that is needed to control. and others don't. The season was only open a year, if I remember right, and then closed by the governor.These decisions are not based on bowhunting hunting,or hunting ethics. Furthermore, these actions you speak of had a very small economic impact on hunting license revenue. I still fail to see where anybody can show or prove to me that whether I have blood in a pic, call my kill a kill instead ofa harvest, or whether Ted kills a domesticlamb on a hunting realty show; that these actions are going to affect my right to bowhunt or hunt. That is because it ISN'T.
