How many states currently ban it? Very few
Same old story, do what every other state does. If we did that we would be hunting on leases,hunting out of a friggin' tree like an owl because our lease is 4 acres. Or we could go kiss some farmers arse and help him haul his hay in for the privilege of hunting.
There is no reason that landowners, hikers, or birdwatchers can't have one day out of seven and feel safe.
Most of these people have never hunted or even own a gun, but they can all read. They read the stories of a hunter in Wisconsin shooting 7-8 people or a young man that shot his best friend here in Maine because he thought it was a deer. This scares the crap out of these people and you can't blame them especially with an influx of "out of staters" who already have a bad reputation in Maine.
