Add "or from a public roadway" to the spotlighting law. Don't forget the handicaped.

Move rabbit statewide back to October 1st. Allow 2nd gobbler tag in spring. Either join muzzy and gun or make muzzy primitive and flintlock with patched round ball or buffalo bullet no scope. Open logging on forest land but wood must sell at market price. Allow dogs for fall turkey. Either get rid of hook limits or lower limit for limb and trot lines. ( for no other reason than its stupid that I can only use three hooks but I can set 25 limb lines. Just dumb rule).

9 day HPR deer season starting Oct. 1.
Change baiting law for waterfowl to coincide with the dove regulations.
Hunter Orange required for any mammals, any weapon.
A practical marksmanship test every year for the weapons that you will be using with minimum scores required. Not able to shoot minimum scores? No license issued. It would apply to lifetime license holders too.
There. pop2

No, it would be exact same game as the waterfowl guys have been following for years. But perhaps those fellers are smarter than us four legged hunters. TY, That makes no sense. I would have to plug my 870, SX2 and 1187. For what purpose? Your archery bias is understood, but that comment is misplaced. Whether I have 3 or 10 rounds is irrelevant. Marksmanship is the key. Not legislating my tube capacity. Kinda like trying to legislate morality. Never has worked... I wasn't arguing for it, only clarifying that fellow hunters been doing it for years and seem to handle it just fine. I personally hold a bias to what I enjoy yes, but do not let that cause any ill feelings or judgement of another hunters choice.

"It also is illegal for a person to deliberately cast a spotlight or other artificial light from a motor vehicle if in possession of a firearm, bow or crossbow." The second part of that law needs to be deleted. Yep. As written, merely shining a flashlight down at the ground from a truck while your firearm is cased in the bed would be enough to get you charged. I'd say even the headlights of your vehicle count the way that shoddy law is written.

Didn't work out that way for me when that male cop cavity searched me at 16 years old with an ungloved hand on the side of the road for a "random contraband" search. But I guess I had "bad intentions" running some errards for my mother. Although you are correct, he never did give me a ticket for anything...

Turn a corner and if your lights shine a deer you'd better not stop or slow down and look if you have a gun or archery equipment in your vehicle. My Second Amendment rights should not end if I'm shining a field...

The sad part in most spotlighting cases is that they let them shoot the deer first anyway so they have a bigger punshiment and concrete evidence, so it's not like we are saving any more deer with the stricter spotlighting law.

We would if it were simy outlawed, or at least not legal from a public roadway.

Since there are several suggestions for changing the firearms seasons I'll add mine.
Open a deer season from October 1 straight through the first Sunday in January for all legal equipment. Then every hunter would have all the time they could ever want to pick out their perfect antlered animal, schedule around life events, and choose whatever weapon they wish.
I would like to see the annual turkey limit be 2 birds. One license good the entire year, two birds total for the year, bearded only in the spring, either sex in the fall, fall weapon choices same as spring.

SMH I'm not sure how it isn't, I was abused by someone in power who used their authority to their advantage. Lest you say it, I am not a cop hater by any stretch of the imagination, but I will always have an inhert mistrust of LEO. They have very powerful laws and unions in a place to protect even a blatant murderer. Chances are my abuser will never be caught and be able to retire and live a comfortable life. I am very aware of the reality that there are some people in these LEO positions who can and will abuse the power given to them in the most horrible and devious ways possible and they fly under the radar a lot more than what we think. It's one of the reasons I hate "officer discretion" for interpretation of vague laws.

Allow HPR. And be allowed to retrieve Gane on other property as long as it's call in with CO.

Guess it wouldn't be that hard to make magazine spacers for every magazine firearm out there to limit it to three rounds. Heck, might as well throw in the rimfires while you are at it. Only need one well-placed shot anyway. Really wouldn't make much difference to me, been using a single shot (muzzleloader) for the majority of my deer hunting career anyway.

3 deer limit,1st deer-either sex,2nd deer-either sex if first deer was antlerless,3rd deer either sex if you have only killed 1 antlered buck. 3 deer maximum, maximum of 2 either sex deer.

Move the archery season back to what it use to be October 15th. Allow HPR's and all the legal weapons that we have now in "gun season". 2 separate 9 day seasons. Middle November and middle or late December. No muzzle loader season. There not what was originally set up for as a separate season. 3 deer a year limit. 1 buck and 2 doe at any time through out the year. Or 2 bucks. 1 archery, 1 firearms, then 1 doe any time through the year.
