Good points -- Bad points!

It is up to the individual to decide what they take within the limits of the law. Not all state game agencies let everyone know what they are doing. Some people have no idea that poaching is as big a problem as it is. If not directly involved with something it is often easy to have little knowledge of it.

Outlawing rifles because they are the weapon of choice for poachers is ludicrous! You should be ashamed to even think that. That's the same as outlawing handguns because people commit crimes with them. Besides, if it's illegal to poach and that isn't stopping poachers...what is making the rifle they use illegal going to do?

Baiting causing CWD. I agree with you on that one. It should be stopped...and the individuals who are baiting in an area that has CWD should have enough common sense not to. BUT, going back to my first statement....if they aren't aware of the problem because it isn't common knowledge....CWD is a relatively new disease and only recently has it been found in epidemic proportions. It's not possible to change something one night and have the rest of the world comply perfectly the next morning.
