FYI,
Here's my letter:
Indiana DNR:
I am a XX year old man who was born, exclusively raised and exclusively educated in Indiana, and I have been an Indiana sportsman, conservationist and environmentalist for at least XX years of my XX years here in this great state. I have lived, worked, recreated and studied throughout the entire state of Indiana, so I feel qualified to comment on a proposed hunting related rule. I believe hunting needs more involvement, in particular youth involvement, in order to ensure the future of hunting in Indiana. As a result, I fully support the following rule proposal because I believe it will make it easier for young people to start hunting, specifically deer hunting:
The proposed deer firearm season rule change language reads:
- The rifle cartridge must:
(A) have a bullet of three hundred fifty-seven thousandths of an inch (.357) diameter or larger;
(B) have a minimum case length of one and sixteen hundredths (1.16) inches; and
(C) have a maximum case length of one and six hundred twenty-five thousandths (1.625) inches.
The ballistic power of the above mentioned cartridges are far below the ballistic capability of the modern muzzleloader which is currently a legal weapon for deer hunting in Indiana, so from a safety standpoint, I see no reason why this proposed rule should not be approved. As I am sure you already know, the ballistic information related to the cartridges in the proposed rule are freely and readily available from many objective and credible sources, so in my opinion, the data cannot be refuted. I appreciate the opportunity to be able participate in this public comment process. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
