this posts shows to me how well educated and no nonsense kinda people are on this site, I must say my view on these parts of america has rapidly changed in a very good way....

I as a Belgian soon to be bowhunter can only tell you how lucky you are with your laws and the legal bowhunt. These sort of things would make it even more impossible in this country to hunt. For instance, they passed a law here that prohibits selling puppies and kittens in petstores behind glass or in cages. Because "Gaia" ( our own PETA ) thinks too many animals are bought on site without carefully thinking things through.
Now all pups and kittens are sold via dvd movies and adds with pictures, making social control impossible.....go figure....
Imagine what they could do with a deer being shot in the head and dying in someone's backyard.....
On the otherhand, I do believe in careful animal management. Too many people get away with too much when it comes to making money with animals.....
