I want seven days for nothing but handgun hunting.

Only handguns. No other firearms, no bows, no crossbows. Only handguns.

Muzzleloaders get a week. Kids get a weekend to use anything. Bowhunters get many weeks.


I think I'll start pushing for this. Surely out of a long season they could carve out a week for nothing but handguns. Maybe the first or second week of December.

Yep. I think we should do away with the youth days.

I want a week for ONLY 7 x 57 Mausers. I like my little Mauser and would like to have a week, only a week, to hunt without any others in the woods (in the rut in my area of course). Same argument, same restrictions. My suggestion would be laughed at, bowhunters not so much!

Think about how many segments of deer season there are:
1. bow
2. muzzleloader/ archery
3. youth
4. general
5. weapon of choice but no dogs

now in part of the state:
1. bow
2. muzzleloader/ archery
3. youth
4. weapon of choice
5. bow
6. weapon of choice
7. weapon of choice but no dogs

Keep your calenders handy.

I know the excuse given, but what is the rationale for 2nd bow-only season in some parts of the state? Can't be to have undisturbed deer ... Can't a a guy just tote his bow during the February season and get the same number of days with his bow.

Spear and Loincloth need to be thrown into the mix also.....


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Would a spear and loincloth season have liberal gun control, or could at least traditional flintlocks be included?

Lets add
an open sight only season.
a buckshot only season.
a dogs only season.
We should have no problem getting this up to around 15 segments of deer season.

Then we have to look at how complicated we can make squirrel season.
start with shotgun only
.22 only
weapon of choice
then back to shotgun only
then a dog season with .22's
then back to shotgun only.

I guess we should add a primitive weapon season too. So lets add slingshot only for the first 3 weeks.

Might as well. We do it for deer. Why not other species?

Why can't there be a "traditional flintlock or caplock" squirrel season? Sounds like a great idea.

Exactly, and you I don't think there are any reasons that are not lawful reasons.

Eddie,

You can do all the corrections, cut and pastes, and any other silly stuff you like and the bow season will still not be a form of gun control.

Gun hunters lost nothing. They were not allowed to hunt during that time of the year to start with.

I really love your passion for the constitution and our rights. But, sometimes you go to far.

Obviously, all deer hunters should have been able to hunt but they weren't. That's the point, Barry.

All you've done is attack me personally.

You've shown no lawful reasons for hunters to be restricted to bows only during a large portion of deer season.

they(gun hunters) were not allowed to hunt in Oct before there was ever a bow season. By your thinking not allowing me to gun hunt deer in Oct(hell, make it Aug, or better yet April) is restricting my Second Amendment rights. That limb is going to break out from under you Eddie.....

Putting my reference to the 2nd amendment in proper context, I was pointing out that there is, in fact, a connection of hunting rights to the right to bear arms. The US Supreme Court recognizes that connection.

Banning the use of firearms without lawful authority for legitimate purposes such as hunting or self defense is most certainly gun control in both cases.

Now you're exaggerating my position like Barry does, Troy.

The subject I'm addressing is the unlawful restriction of our rights. There are lawful restrictions that can be found in a proper reading of the law.

By law, if opening deer season does not harm the conservation and perpetuation of the species, then the season should be open. If the season is open, there is no biological reason not to allow guns as well as bows.

Are there any states with a "deer season" with no weapon-specific seasons?

We have our rights to use firearms. We also have extra rights to use a bow. Win- win situation. Some of u guys will whine about anything.
