"There’s not one single reason for them to stop making everything draw only"
I hope it doesn't happen. For money in the short term, the state would sell us down the river. They won't worry about the future. There is no shortage of examples of this happening in government in general. What makes people think it can't happen with hunting? The SOA might be ok. As long as it stops expanding. I never EVER dreamed baiting would be legal. I wonder if they figured they would make more by selling baiting permits than the money they made off ticketing hunters. My only point is If the people in charge can abuse it, they WILL abuse it. The SOA program has grown in just a few years and it won't stop growing. Not when there's money to be made.

Why not? What makes you so confident the chances are zero?
