Is Government Two-Faced When It Comes To Domestic Elk Industry?

Fascism takes on many forms some of which are difficult to spot. I see far too many groups and individuals attempting to force ideals onto others. When this happens an assortment of tactics are employed in order to manipulate the system and sway public opinion to achieve an end result.

Take for example the state of Idaho. Idaho is home to one of the best run domestic elk industries in the United States, in my opinion. It is well run, clean, disease free and brings a substantial economic contribution to the people of that state as well. Some people don’t like to see elk trapped behind fences even though elk have been domesticated world wide for centuries. Read more

South Dakota Inches Toward Crossbow Use For Hunting

A new bill, HB1116, has been introduced into the South Dakota House that would permit people who are 65 and older to hunt only antlerless deer with a crossbow. Current law allows the use of a crossbow for hunting under certain handicap cases.

(4) A person who is aged sixty-five or older and holds a resident or nonresident big game license that is valid for taking antlerless deer may use a crossbow or other legal bow equipped with a draw-lock device to take antlerless deer .
A violation of this section is a Class 2 misdemeanor.

I’m not sure the reason for such a law to be honest. Many in South Dakota believe there are too many deer and are looking at ways to reduce the deer population. I can’t see how this bill would do much of anything to aid in that purpose. The questions I have are, why 65 and older and why only for only antlerless deer?

Does this also mean no special safety course is required? All that a 65 or older hunter needs is a big game hunting license?
