If "no limit" is a sensible limit on the harvest of squirrels, I would be fine with it. I don't think (and most would agree) that a virtually "no limit" regulation on the harvest of bucks in Alabama is sensible.


Similar to what BSK said, just because the limit was 1 a day doesn't mean anyone was shooting 1 a day. Wasn't the average number of bucks per hunter less than 2? Weren't most hunters moving toward some sort of QDM on their own? Weren't most hunters limiting themselves and more each year? Why not continue down that road rather than calling for the government to step in if we truly believe in small government?

The move toward QDM in Alabama was an example of exactly how the USA was designed to function. People with freedom gravitate toward the right solution. Not central planning dictating what it thinks is the best solution from the top down.
