if they do then they loose hunters. The second of which I would think is a much smaller part of their revenue.
You may be right, but it does depend on what area of the states they are trying to sell it in. Up here it is mostly hunters so the loss in this area has been pretty heavey so if other areas do the same then they have to reverse decisions. However after saying that it would be hard to trust them not finding another way to funnel the money out to them.
