I don' t think it' s politcaly correct to hunt at all from the general public view. It' s not the first thing they' ve a corrupted view of though. As far as the 70 pin sight thing goes, if he can handle it, go for it. I know a lot of people don' t agree with this ' cause of unseeable branches, but in open country where trees are scarce I don' t think that' ll be a problem. All the same, in common deer woods a 70 yard shot would be unneccessary. As for the Pope and Young deal about silly rules, it' s my understanding that Pope and Young is a private organization. If they decide you have to chew gun and wear your shoes backwards while hunting to make it in, they have every right. If Mr. Sheply doesn' t like it, he can start his own club. A little technilogical advancement isn' t such a bad thing, but some of the stuff I' ve seen sounds ridiculous. If it' ll get more people into hunting responsibly, then hey why not; but if it' s just a gimic to get more game, I think the hunting world in general can do without. As far as a separate season, that' s a mighty wicked hornets' nest you' re stirring if you' re saying what I think you' re saying. I guess I' ll need my Raid I think the concept is pretty novel as long as it doesn' t take away from the other seasons. However, I fear there would be a lot of people who shouldn' t hunt with the stuff that will do it anyways just so they can spend more time hunting and have another shot at getting some game. If that' s going to be the result, I' d rather just hunt with all the high tech stuff.
