We're lucky so far in that there's yet to be a rule successfully imposed on us to limit the distance from highways or houses that we can hunt. Many states have this rule, and it closes off a LOT of private property to hunting. But so far we have always shot it down when it has been proposed in Indiana. But the more steps we take with allowing longer and longer range weapons, the easier it will be for the antis to nibble at our rights, with rules like "500 yards from any dwelling" and etc.

I oppose the rule change for this reason among others.
