So again is the state hypocritical in saying that only slug guns are used for hunting season (unspecified depredation) but that you can use your AR in a .308 or a .50BMG during the specfied depredation hunts.?? Yes.
Agreed on both points. I should rephrase and say that it's what they would tell you..their stated goal.

Needing a "license" to hunt, IMO, is ridiculous...a THINLY veiled revenue collection scheme.
