Default RE: Pa Game Comm. Overhaul

Anyone who disagrees feel free to express their thoughts. If against an inline/shotgun season only, explain why and the real benefit of not implementing such a season.
Have you considered the impact it might have on hunters quitting ,instead of buying a new gun? With hunting as poor as it is now and the down turn in the economy how many hunters do you think will just quit? Also, have you considered the effect on junior hunters who often start out with a hand me down rifle that has been in the family thus requiring no additional expense? How many 60+ year old hunters will quit rather than give up their 30-30 or 760 ,30-06? What will it do to the market valve of the millions of rifles owned by PA hunters?

Studies have shown that there are more hunting accidents in shotgun only areas than with rifles. How many wounded deer will escape and not be recovered if hunters are restricted to single shot in-lines?
