no i don't think it will.

Who made this dumb law for killing spring gobblers in Va. with a rifle and what year did it come into play !!!  



I've got an email in to the game department now to find out.

I ran into some hunters in SD years ago while turkey hunting.  They were really there shooting prairie dogs, but figured while they were there, they'd get turkey tags too.  They were set up with a shooting bench in a clearing shooting at gobblers hundreds of yards away in other clearings.  This was before the strutting decoy craze, but can you imagine the scenario?

What if it was a gobbler they were shooting at, but someone was there working that bird, and they just dusted it from 400 yards away?

I'm all for the 2nd Amendment, but a key tennant of the constitution is that your expression of those rights should not infringe on the rights of others.
A veteran is someone who, at one point, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including their life.'
