Just one of my post to make you think of things...
I often wondered if some of the antiquated game laws are looked at by state agencies. Some that are brought to mind are:
The use of semiautomatic rifles for hunting... Especially for woodchucks and predators.. Things have changed.. We now have bullets that fragment... The semiautomatic game law probably goes way back when semiautomatic rifles were first available to hunters..
Not being able to shoot a skunk, possum, or weasel if it comes to a wildlife electronic caller..
Hunters only allowed to use rimfire in certain areas of the state for woodchucks and predators.. 22 rimfire can also go one mile and some don't fragment. The logical thing to do is to allow hunters in these areas to use the 22 Hornet with fragment HP bullets..
Here is one that can hurt you however... Right now we can hunt fox and coyotes on Sunday... However we should also be allowed to hunt coon, bobcat, weasel, possum and skunk on Sunday too.. However what can happen however when they review this that they could end up taking the coyote and fox hunting away and make it that all furbearing animals can't be hunted on Sunday..
Would be nice if they also checked with other states to see their feelings on using AR's.. New York State is allowed to use AR's for predators.. However again however.. NYS.. Can't hunt predators at night time with a light. That has to be one of NYS antiquated laws for sure!!!!
If law makers or people that have the power to change antiquated laws only could look at things in a LOGICAL sense.. Many states could really benefit and have seasons and laws that promote all kinds of hunting for years to come..
As that guy that use to be on the tube with the pointed ears use to say: "THATS JUST NOT LOGICAL!"
