NYbowhunter: I hear ya! Ever since I caught a bag of hospital waste{ syringes, I.V. tubes, transfusion bags } in 18 mile { ontario } I haven't eaten a fish from great lakes waters. However, I fish probably 6-8X more now than I ever did.

I'm happy with the length of our big game season-Gun-{ won't ever complain if it IS increased though}. Usually, by the time it's over, my body, and my wife, are thankful. So many states count there season in days, rather than weeks, which IMHO, accounts greatly for the B & C's taken there. Oh, Ia, Ill., Ind.,Ks. Neb., to name a few.
