Compromises and "stepping stones". Look how many times IDNR has used that approach regarding hunting tools for deer hunting and how much controversy has been generated among deer hunters. Look at how many stepping stones have been used in bows, crossbows, muzzle loading firearms, shotguns, centerfire handguns, and centerfire rifles.
May all our hunts be safe, enjoyable, and deeply appreciated.
