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.
Yes, case won. I should have been an attorney
you'd make a poor attorney because you don't know your facts. Let's talk about the banning of spring bear hunting in Ontario. It was done solely on peoples feelings about shooting female bears with cubs by the antis and won which devistated the hunting community there economically. If you think it can't or won't happen your solely mistaken.
They took away the spring hunts and still have the fall. I am sure it hurt some economies in little towns up there. Mothers fresh out of the den with mommy possibly getting shot and leaving the cubs behind has a lot of sympathy from hunters too.I am speaking about America, not Canada.Canadiansrolled over and gave up their handgun rights too. I am not Canadian and can't answer why they do what they do up there. From what I have heard this about to be reversed because the ON bear pops are too high. To be honest, Canadians don't bear hunt and there may have not been enough pressure from Americans to keep the spring bear hunt open. I have bear hunted 7 times and only one was in the spring. Miserable hunt because of the black flies, ticks, and mosquitos. I would never hunt in the spring in ON if I could for bear.
