Invest in some binos!!

I hunt in goose area 2A. If you shoot a Dusky, you have to re-take the goose test to go hunting in 2A or 2B again. I think if it's shown that you're unsafe with a firearm, you should have to retake Hunter Education. I've had to re-take the goose test and it makes you really think before pulling the trigger on a goose again.

Wonder if I could sell roll up signs that say "Hey *censored*, stop pointing your gun at me!!" 

I literally laughed out loud at this, but I do like the idea.  May have to make one up!

Are there any hunting infractions which require the re-taking of Hunter Education? If someone were caught by a gamie doing this, it should qualify. Shooting the wrong animal, loaded gun in the car, etc. What do you guys think?

I really like this idea as well.  Something like the statute that can require driver's to have to retest under certain conditions or loose their driver's licenses.

If it was possible, I would love to see someone's license taken away for glassing with their scope.  I think it would be difficult to prove however.  I've had it happen several times that I know of, with the last time three years ago on Mt. Townsend.  I should have hiked up the hill and laid into him, but I just flipped him the bird and continued down the ridge.

I'm starting a new thread.

I agree with the previous poster that there could be a full page notice in the regs on this to remind people, though these folks probably don't read the regs anyways....   

I agree.  I see people go get their tags and not even want a copy of the regs.  The transactions are similar to:
Dude:  Uh, When's deer season?  I think I need a tag.
Clerk:  Starts next weekend.
Dude:  Does that cover this area?
Clerk:  Yeah.
Dude:  What can I shoot?
Clerk:  Any buck.
Dude:  Oh okay.  Give me a tag.
Clerk:  Is that all.
Dude:  Uh, is it bear season.  I might need one of those too.
Clerk:  Yes.
Dude:  Yeah, I'll take one of those too.
Clerk:  Do you need a free regs pamphlet?
Dude:  Nah, can't understand them anyways.

i am all for somethn happening to these idiots, i would rather see their huntn right revoked for LIFE, like what was said earlier "ya cant fix stupid" i learned at a very young age to not point a weapon at something you dont intend to kill, when i went in the service, i was in a unit that required us pointing weapons at people all the time, and i could still hear my dad wispering in my ear, it took awhile for me to not have that uneasy feeling, but it quickly comes back in the woods, binos and bino buddys are an awesome investment, and get a safari sling while your getn binos, your gun hangs perfect and it makes it alot easier to use your binos...
