I agree it's was rude for the "Powers-That-Be" to simply pull the rug beneath Deer Hunters, by amending the rules regarding H.P. & P.C.Rs right at the start of Deer Season. However, the fact remains that besides changing the laws; there is the fact that suitable hunting land in Indiana is shrinking. The D.N.R. & Regulatory Com. has to weight hunting with safety. With Highways & roads being built along and through prime hunting grounds, "Urban Sprawl" along with a growing population of people; makes it necessary to balance safety with hunting.
