Have you ever stopped to think hunting regulations just flat aren't a liberal vs conservative issue? I don't believe for a second they are...it's a decision made by reasonable people despite political affiliation or political ideology. If it wasn't that way, how is that a state like wyoming, perhaps the most conservative state in the west, with a clear majority of the legislature as red as blood, have a hunter orange regulation in place?
I would make the argument that hunting regulations aren't a D vs R issue or a conservative vs liberal issue...but about common sense. Precisely why conservative wyoming politicians, hunters, commission, and legislators supported and continue to support the regulation. Why over 40 states require it and have the regulation in place.
Not every issue has to dragged into the political abyss of the .gov conspiracy nuts.
