Datamax, just b/c a few old men smoke 3 packs a day, eat eggs and bacon every morning and live to be 100 doesn't mean it's a good idea for everyone else to follow. I think just assuming that since AR, OH, and GA have not had any ill effects does not automatically assume each state will follow suit. You must consider terrain, deer herd, hunter numbers, season lengths, bag limits, etc.
By the same token DC you can't ignore the data. Sure you have to factor it in but it's the only data we have and how many states have to legalize them before the data becomes relevant. Certainly, no one can predict the future but we certainly have to use experience and similar circumstances as factors. I would think Georgia in particular would be a good comparison to Mississippi.
