I wont let them take it from me.

havent "they" already done so? maybe not completely, but you cant just go hunt whenever, whatever you want (i intentionally omitted "wherever" so this doesnt turn into a property rights debate) . the state has imposed many restrictions, as you know, so why doesnt that bother you?

it's easy to say - i'll get pissed if they ban hunting all together and i wont stand for it, especially if you think you have a "right" to hunt. but at what point does regulation short of a complete ban become problematic?
