You like using slug guns over rifles? Not me! all to do with the economy!!how so? and if it helps why not? also,do you hunt everyday you can during the season or do you fase out as it progresses? I deer and duck hunt everyday I can in the fall, I hunt pretty hard with all weapons and I kill alotta game, but im not sure why that matters, should I have more rights than a "weekend warrior" who just wants to get out in the woods a few Xs any maybe get a deer, any deer? He pays the same for his license dont he? Be honest you guys wanna keep this sport, a game for the elites and shut out the lesser players, cause you dont want competition ,youre shooting yourselves in the foot though, theres strength in #s
