Is anyone else surprised (pleasantly) by the reaction of the legislator and family member quoted in the article above? Not the usual "ban hunting" or "we'll sue the riflemaker, state wildlife commission and everyone else involved" kinda take that our society tends to generate these days.

Seattle Times: How old is "old enough" to hunt in Washington?

Voice your opinion to the Seattle Times: Should the state put more restrictions on young hunters?

As much as some people on THR like to speak badly about "liberal" western Washington state, I find that people here are pretty tolerant of hunting and shooting.

Personally I think the whole association of liberals and gun control comes from the politicians and not so much from the liberal populace.

The class I took once was like 80 hours in total, but I learned a whole lot so it was worth it, without attending one of these you wont go nowhere near any kind of firearm around here. Thats a good thing I think.

maybe hikers should have to wear bright orange durring hunting season,this may help.

Is it just me or do a lot of people seem to be commenting on threads without reading them first, just lately?

Naw, not-reading is common for any thread beyond the second page.
