Aiming to curb the deer population, the state legislature has approved a bill that would allow bow hunters to shoot at deer as close as 150 feet from homes. Currently, hunters have to be 450 feet from occupied buildings.

Bow hunting is a totally different form of hunting. The arrows can only travel at most 40-50 yards unless aimed up into the air. The deer population needs to be controlled.
Would you rather hear gun shots in a field next door or strike a deer while driving or worse yet swerve because of a deer and drive off road striking a pole or a tree?
BTW hunters contribute significantly to the state by not only keeping the deer population in check but also spend tremendous amounts of money on permits and licenses. |

Your right no worries. Because accidents never happen when people are hunting, right? And I am sure a hunter would never accidentally get to close to someones home and accidentally shoot johnny or jenny? |
