Sorry to hear of that struggle, Lloyd. That it involves benevolent government, making things difficult for a minor, pursuing sport hunting, surprises me not in the least.
It seems to me the local DNR has become narrowly focused on timber sales, deer, and turkeys, in that order. They seem quite uninterested in the fact the numbers of small game and waterfowl hunters declines every year in this state. Several years back, the DNR attempted to quietly phase in a lead shot ban, statewide, and were met with a fury of sportsman and legislators, who managed to come to the meetings that were scheduled in buildings and at times that were mostly impossible for working stiffs to be at, without losing work hours. We raised hell. They have been better behaved, since.
Unrelated, my son and I have opted out of our buddy trap league, since, ammunition to participate is unavailable at the moment, and the club can’t get it.
Good luck on your trip.
Best,
Ted
