That won't happen, unfortunately. There are too many "outdoorsmen" who would leap at the chance to "bag a buck" that was chased to right in front of them. The fact that it happens now is pretty ample proof of that.

So either you accept that, try to make rules against it, or try to call them out individually as often as possible.

The same goes for a whole lot of situations -- there is rarely a case where no one will abuse the situation. War profiteers, people who prey on the recently-bereaved, etc.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I'm not a lawyer or politician. Set me straight if some of my thinking is off on this....I'd like to hear your opinion....

I'm still waiting for your's - you're waffling, like a few others here.

'I believe in rights, but this issue rubs me wrong. Maybe something should be done.'

???

I guess I don't understand what I'm supposed to be waffling about. I realize others have opinions. I'd like to hear what they have to say....I thought I made my point clear enough...I'm against game farms. I voted against them in Montana, along with the majority of voters there....

When I read this, my gut says that they're fully onboard with the hunting ban.

so when you wrote:
"In many ways I'd like to think that a land owner should be able to do anything he wants with his land."

you really didn't mean it. That's where you're waffling.

I think you'll find from Steve1's posting history that he's about as un-waffling as they get. He's not a "player" here; he's just straight-up.

Thanks Andy! Maybe I'd be better off to keep my opinions to myself. I get way too wound up over things....Maybe that's what happens when you get to be an old fart....I do learn a lot from the Speaker's corner. Sometimes, I'm way off, and I don't mind being set straight....
