Bow,

I never meant to imply you resembled a poacher. It was just an analogy.

I see your point and I know you mean well at heart.............I just don' t agree that' s all.

Rifles are not a legal gun to hunt with in my state right now. I really don' t want some yahoo out in the woods with a 30 06 just because he gets more personal satisfaction out of hunting with that gun. If someone gets hurt or killed by a stray rifle shot that goes who knows how far before something stops it...........that person and their family would not want to hear that the hunter was just doing it because he preferred it to a slug gun.


I confronted a hunter last year entering the woods with a rifle in our area.........I saw the barrell while eating my lunch. When I asked the guy where he was going with that gun he said " What do you care??" to which I replied " I have 2 brothers and my father in these woods retard.......that' s why I care" I told him if he entered the woods I would call the DEC and he could ask them why they care. Thankfully I saw him before he entered the woods............and thankfully our discussion never became a heated argument.

I just don' t care for people picking and choosing which laws they will obey and which ones they won' t.
