Being forced to become an agent of the state is not right.
The wheels are turning. Expect more regulations, restrictions and fees in the future.
Deer hunting used to be fun.
It all started with the buck limit, things like this were the reason I was so strongly against it. I never wanted to kill more than 3 bucks in a season; I just didn't want all the state control that was sure to follow it. I helped a first time dove hunter buy a license Saturday. It was so difficult and confusing that she almost gave up and said to forget it. If I hadn't been there to explain some things I'm sure she would have given up.
And what have all these rules and regulations done for us? We had better hunting without any of it, but it wasn't "fair."
Mr. Steve, this was my first thought. Why would a youngster want to put up with all of this? They make it less fun every year.
