I know what redneck hunters and fishermen are like. They’ll follow reasonable rules for hunting and fishing.
Unreasonable rules will be met with unlimited poaching.
This will be WORSE for the animals. I promise.
In many states, hunters are the main lobby whose votes and voices prevent public state lands from being sold off to developers. If the hunters can no longer legally hunt, the public forest lands will become developments and the wildlife will be gone. Of course, none of this matters to urban “environmentalists” whose real agenda is virtue-signaling, not wildlife conservation.
