And why is it so hard to recruit new hunters into the sport? It's because of all the rules. It is hard enough for us guys that have been hunting in this state for decades to keep track of all the rules. I imagine a new guy would have his head spinning trying to sort out all the legalities regarding hunting in this state. Just an observation........

Just an observation........4th year hunting... and i was first BLOWN away at rules and regs. I hunted in NY, you can use retractable broadheads as long as the dont form a barb or a hook, and you cant have anything Mechanical on your bow.. I.E. you can't have a machine pull it back for you. Thats it... you can use lumioks, cameras, lights for you fiber optics to see your pins... i came out here ( cause this is where i was stationed) and was like well this stinks... ... but hopefully they make changes... they did for the luminocks out here, now if we can get em to changes the electrical equipment and mechanical broad heads, it may take a while but i think there will be changes in the years to come.

I believe he is referring to mechanical broadheads and electronics on bows. Many (me included) don't like them or think they are a good idea.
