Technology improves hunter success which in turn affects the population.
You can’t continue improving the hunters odds and not affect overall health of the herd/flock

It’s not about banning anything rather adjusting as technology advances the hunter success more and more.

Like already mentioned, if there was a long gun season in the Midwest it really would hurt the overall population

Just like the huge increase in deer hunter numbers in the Midwest. Many hunters grew frustrated at the end of their hunt and started shooting healthy 2.5 yr olds and soon there was many properties missing bigger bucks.

The hunter sentiment was “well I paid 3-4 K I’m killing something with horn.” Fortunately many saw the problem and changed criteria if you hunted their lease in the Midwest.

Technology can’t keep advancing and not be addressed. It’s a negative return at some point
