No. I would not be in favor of it. While I understand your point I think the government tries to control us enough. It's a damn shame, but one bad apple spoils the bunch. I for one am pretty tired of having to adapt to the "bad apples" of the world. The fact of the matter is, it's a free country ( supposedly ) and if someone wants to get their bow out 2 days before season and shoot 5 arrows, then deem themselves worthy of hunting.........Well, so be it. I don't agree with it, but I would be against legislation trying to control it even more.
I think the good apples have to stand above the bad and attempt to sway the attention away from the bad......Just my 2 cents......
A lot of good points here.
I see it (pulling bow out the day before the season) a lot as it is what my step dad, his brothers and their buddies do each fall.....
Just the other day when a buddy was over my house shooting my step dad stopped by to pick up some spare lumber I had.My buddy and Iwere playing a game of archery pig we werestanding a mere 30 yards from the deer target. My step dad says "what are you doing all the way back here..... you are going to lose all your arrows it's inevitable!"
He was being serious
