Leave It Alone

Here's an unoriginal thought: if ain't broke, don't fix it.  Is there really a groundswell for 10-year-olds to hunt?  I doubt it.  Until someone convinces me that significant public harm is caused by having the minimum age set at 12, I see no reason to change the law.  Is our current method of giving out big game licenses broken?  Not really, although I think we could give out more deer tags (not like there is a shortage of deer). So why change the system in a way likely to reduce the number of residents who can hunt?  Beats me.  It ain't broke, don't fix it.

Update: Here's more on the effort to lower the minimum hunting age.
