[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1386027, member: 12443"] In my opinion, if a poll were taken at the time the license was issued, many of those wanting semi autos made legal, would also prefer changing opening day buck to be on a Saturday, and also that Sunday hunting be permitted. The reason for my opinion, is that those things are creating the most noise among hunters. Even the antler restrictions, which have no doubt contributed to the large amount of bigger racks being killed than at any time i can remember in the 70 years ive hunted, is disliked by a large percentage of hunters. Their rights are being violated by not being permitted to shoot any buck regardless of rack size is the argument. Much the same type argument being heard here about rifle choice. What happened about a decade ago when the PGC decided to allow for the use of cross bows by hunters having a handicap? The answer is that within about 3 years many hunters were handi caped, and the ranks were growing rapidly. To the point it became a joke, so what choice was to be made? The handicap provision was eliminated. Has that improved archery hunting? Or rather has it turned large numbers of hunters into archery hunters, and increased the archery deer kill numbers drasticly? But again the question, has it improved archery hunting? Another question, has it increased the number of wounded animals during archery season? For the record, ive never hunted archery, or even shot a bow of any type. I don't think hunting opportunity, should be confused with choice of weapon to do it with, because the two are totally different subjects. So to claim that ones hunting rights are being denied, by not being permitted to use a certain type weapon, is a pretty hollow argument, again in my opinion. Especially when the person making the claim, also claims to never need a second shot. [/QUOTE]
