Once again it seems that the only thing Mr Ledgen/Lochorns is committed to is anything to keep us at odds with one another Did anyone else here think they were agreeing on any weapon starting sept 1? Lets take it from the top. First, if we are to kill more does (some may disagree with that, but it seems that the guys in power want it that way and I happen to agree) it's only fair that we should ALL have more expanded hunting oportunities. It should happen while we work towards smaller DMU's and a more credible count so that anyone concerned about accurate numbers has an opportunity to scrutinize them more than they can now. Second, I think that most reasonable hunters understand that it would be fair to let the guys with the most restrictive yet non disruptive weapons go first leading up to the most effective/disruptive weapons. (start with spears and end with machine guns LOL) Seriously, I prefer the compound bow, I wouldn't mind the recurve /longbow guys having a week or so before me because they are least likely to disrupt or negatively affect the deer for the rest of us. Follow them with all compound bows. Then the ML's and/or crossbow guys and end with the rifles. I'm beginning to think we all would be able to be more agreeable here without one spoiler continually stirring things up and twisting whats been said. One things is for certain. We obviously have a group, with the exception of one and maybe an alias or two, that cares very deeply about these issues. When people care deeply about something it's hard not to get frustrated and maybe occasionally step on one another in the process. To those I've inadvertently stepped on I apologize.It's only cause I care as much as you do. To those whom I feel stepped on me and others, I respect your right to express your views even if I may not agree.I know you care too... On the other hand,I just wonder how a clever PETA mole might behave on a forum like this?!?!
