    I have tried and don't like it but would not stop others from doing it. Safety is a big issue for me though and I was nearly shot on private property by hunters as a teenager. I was riding a brown horse during hunting season on private, fenced land. Never try that one again. My horse got spooked and I fell off, dislocating my hip. Hunters should be more careful than they generally are. They often have terrible accidents or cause them.

    • Thanks to the second amendment, hunters see required safety training as a rights infringement...this is why it's so necessary. Lobby your state to require some level of proof-of-competency to purchase firearms. A gun is a possession...a thing...a product that can be dangerous if misused. We are required to demonstrate similar competency and safety knowledge to possess and operate other 'products' that carry similar hazards: cars, explosives, pesticides, aircraft, prescription drugs, etc.

      It's not about disarming the population, as many critics like to argue - Canadian law even allows me to buy guns that are deemed illegal in the US...BUT I had to demonstrate that I had training in safe handling and storage and, should I be found to be handling/storing unsafely, I can lose that certification.

      The additional certification required for my hunting license demonstrates similar knowledge of safe and ethical hunting practices. That includes things like positively IDing your target before pulling the trigger and understanding that you have a responsibility for every round you fire.

      This all means that when I'm in the bush, anyone else who is (legally) doing the same has had to have the same level of training: i.e. YOUR certification is for MY benefit.
