Don’t need firearms to hunt deer, although a license is necessary.

A reminder of some old threads.

Thanks for the links! I thought that might be an atlatl.

It's hard enough as it is to get near enough to deer to get a clear shot with a rifle, muzzle loader or bow and arrow. Stalking deer, among the spookiest of God's creatures, and getting close enough to toss an atlatl at one is going to prove to be almost impossible.

Not in my front yard! They move away if I throw a few stones at them, but otherwise they keep munching on the roses.

Hmmm... venison, right from the front garden...

And no newly-semi-rural liberal neighbors upset by the sound of gunfire. *\;-)

IMHO there are many different classes of felons.

It should be decided by the Judge and Jury at conviction if the crime would ever exclude them from using a gun for hunting purposes.

In many areas hunting is a big part of mainstream life and shouldn’t be used to exclude a nonviolent person that has payed their debt and is trying to rejoin society.
