region 5 hunting season 2017

[rogerb]

the danger I see with asking for the season in region 5 to be closed due to the fires is that it would set a precedent that could be used in the future to close more & more seasons/areas to hunting. hunters on here may have one idea of what constitutes a 'once in a hundred years' fire event - others who support the current government may well have a completely different perspective & use this precedent to restrict hunting as soon as a plume of smoke is spotted. for them, any excuse will do so long as it takes them closer to their final goal - ending hunting entirely...

Spot on. Give an inch, they'll take a mile... Ultimately, they just want you dependent on the government. From cradle to the grave!
