I personally don't see any issue witha s emi auto rifle, I cannot see where some say IF ITS SAFE TO DO SO
whats the difference in SAFE on a semi, over a bolt or pump, or lever??
its the caliber of bullet and power it packs as to HOW far it will go or not
I have seen and SOLD hunters 10 shot mag's for rem 760-7600 pumps in 30-06 and like calibers
and seen and head a TON of rally's over the yrs of 5+ shots ringing out and have since the 70's

the first BUCK and DOE seasons at teh same time, were down in the special reg's area's and they used to use semi auto shotguns, and cannot tell you how many times I see hunters unload at running deer while I hunted down there
it was TRUE< if its brown its down mind set where I was at it seemed to me
and they unloaded there guns when they seen one??(NOT everyone , but a LOT sure did)

there will be SAFE hunters and there will sadly be MORON"S out there with guns
the type of gun, doesn't matter to me to be honest
I don't think a 30 round mag should be allowed, but even if it was, HOW many would really carry one
MANY hunters I doubt want all that added weight if NO other reason
it would be a SMALL amount of those that MIGHT
the MASS of hunters I don't see falling into that game
MOST I doubt will be switching from a rile they used for yrs, to a semi, JUST cause you CAN, if passed
there will still be a alter restriction, which will slow the shooting at running deer
which I think stopped a LOT of them BIG round rally's at deer as we once had, as need to be more sure of targets now
OR the GOOD honest hunters do!
the slobs will always be out there

I hope they enforce more about the TYPES of bullets they will be using and checking them often, if your carrying a AR type rifle
as I can sure see a LOT of dummys, that DON"T know any better buying CHEAPEST ball ammo they can and flinging it at deer
and they mostly all full metal jacketed bullets that DON"T kill very well, and IMO< much MUCH higher and more likely to bounce off tree's and rocks and fly into things NOT planned!
I own a LOT of semi auto guns, and have NO plans of using one, I like my rifles I have now for deer hunting, and I think others are the same way!
