Default RE: For or Against Mandatory Bowhunter Education

Not exactly...hunting on public land is not an official duty of a govt. employee. Once again...big difference.

But on another note, yes the govt. does have an obligation to ensure that i hunt safetly and responsibly on public land. That's why they made me take a mandatory hunter's ed course. That's why I have to show my hunter's ed card before i can buy a license. And the mandatory hunter's ed class covers the govt.'s obligation....IMO,there is no obligation foradditionalbow only courses.

All these public domain arguments do not apply to the question at hand. IMO, the states obligation is satisfied by the courses that ARE ALREADY MANDATORY![8D]


Correct, not an official duty, a privilege being extended to hunters by the gvmt. to use their land. Becasue it is their's, they get to decide the rules. So yes, the public domain argument does apply here. You won't be granted immunity because you don't agree with their logic or classes. Were you going to present your side and try to get this changed I'd suggest you come up with a better argument and reason than I don't think I should have to.
