Default RE: Military members, should they get special hunting privledges?

My short answer: No.
My long answer: I was in the US Army. I was deployed to Korea and got to miss 3 full seasons due to it. I was not ' demanding' I would be allow to hunt the entire summer in exchange for my missing seasons... It' s an honor as a servicemember to be deployed. That' s when you really put your training to work. That' s what we (they) get their pay for. They (and I) decided that' s what they wanted to do with their lifes during that period of time.
Hunting Seasons are created for Wildlife conservation, not created to be open during a time when it' s convenient for humans....

I am 100% FOR giving them free general hunting and fishing licenses. (I didn' t say give them tags that are available thru draw only though). They never know how long they are going to be stationed in Anywhere, USA, so they' d be less likely to drop $20 if they know they' re going to be just 1/2 the season...
