just further reduces the need for woodsmenship skills, hunter analytical capability, any relative skill in actually hunting, makes most food plots in essence bait piles,
That could just as easily be a description that the use of game cameras (especially real time game cameras) has had on deer hunting.

I don't know what this proposal actually has in it and it's why I haven't commented on it. But there is one thing I feel pretty confident in saying. This proposal just takes it to another level. After all, firearms hunting is definitively easier then bow hunting in my opinion.

If the past is any indicator, what is proposed is likely to be very different from what is adopted.
I agree about the cameras and much, much more. But, I still don't really believe many of those technologies, including the cameras, provide the advantage of long range shooting. [/b]
If this passes, I really don't think that the vast majority of hunters are going to be taking 300-1000 yard shots like they do on TV. Just like I don't think the vast majority of bow hunters take 60-80 yard shots like many TV hunters do.
