[QUOTE="PBramble, post: 2573410, member: 103823"] Honestly, this view could be applied to any of the seasons. Why not only allow black powder cartridge guns for hunting period? Open sights only? I mean, I know guys who are competitive long range competition shooters with black powder guns and peep sights. How about black powder shotguns only for turkeys? Does TSS give too much of an advantage? What about youth seasons? Less pressure on animals if the kids have to hunt with the grown ups. I think the bottom line is that with modern times comes new technology that makes things better and more efficient at doing the job they were designed for. No one is forcing anyone to use this new technology, but it's available for anyone who does. The division that's created by these "sides" isn't good for the sport in any way shape or form. And unfortunately, it's the same argument used by those who would like to see those same technological advances out of general public hands. And it's very similar to people making other choices in life. Why would anyone need a car that goes 140 or more when the speed limit is well below that in every state? Does anyone need a house bigger than a certain size? If we're going to go all out, what was wrong with outhouses and hand wells? It's all personal choice. I also saw a reference to hunting abilities and practices skimming through. I think that the answer there is that with the schedules and free time that people have, their just isn't as much focus put on hunting until the season rolls around. We're all busier now with jobs, family and whatever the kids are into these days. It ties up a lot of time. I'm sure most people are making the best they can with what they have to work with. I know in my current situation, I'm afforded the ability to spend a lot more time scouting and just outdoors in general than my friends. I can count the number of times I've come home skunked in my life on one hand. I can count the number of times they've connected on my other. But we all still have a good time when we go and we still do it every year. [/QUOTE]
