May not be politically correct to discuss it here. Probably politically correct at all for that matter, but it' s appropriate. My personal feeling is that the further compounds ' progress' the harder it' s going to be to maintain our season' s status as a primitive weapons season. When you' ve got guys shooting game at 50-60 yards and further, you' re talking handgun distances.

In fact, last time I went to one of our game commission' s public input meetings, there were a couple of guys wanting to open up bow season to handguns. And then there' s the crossbow lobby that' s been trying to push their way in. LOTS of people don' t like bowhunters having exclusive access to the pre-rut (and, in states with l-o-n-g bow seasons, the whole rut too).
