GREAT question, Scott...

And equally as good an answer mobow.

I actually agree with both concepts; as a pretty hardcore, right-wing conservative, I agree whole-heartedly with Donnie. But... I'm gonna waffle a bit as I think through this and say that you've got a great point, buckeye.As someone who's about as serious about bowhunting as you can be, I love being an ambassador for our sport, and often times think that -- while not necessarily the standards I hold myself to need to be put into place -- that sometimes we do need standards.

I had the extreme displeasure of a co-worker a few years ago who found out I was a bowhunter want to go hunting with me. We ended up hunting a couple times together, and I saw him gutshot a deer, shoot another in the hip, wound a turkey, and wound a bobcat in those couple hunts. I was appalled, and we went our seperate ways. Oh wait... we hunted three times together, because the first time out together, I put him in one of my best spots and he wounded a legitimate 150-class bruiser; I know he was because he cameby my stand after he shot him, though I didn't know it at the time. I wondered why I couldn't grunt him over to me.. I got a friend of mine to take me up in his private plane the next day and we circled the area for 10 minutes as I looked over the CRP field he went into with binos. [:@]

The problembecomes who administers? Who sets policy? Does it -- like mobow said -- open the door for more restrictions from anti-hunters down the road? (This would have to be weighed VERY carefully, and is the reason my initial reaction would be to say "no") There's a LOT to think about here...
