Well call it modern day thinking or whatever you like, but changing regulations isn't going to improve anything, including the modern trend toward hunting. There isn't enough interest today among a growing number of people to hunt at all. They seem to have other interest that are more important. More and more camps, many inherited from the older generation, aren't even opened during hunting seasons.
Somehow a million licenses a year were sold when average Joe hunter was carrying a 30/30 with no scope. If the modern day thinking is that ARs and Sunday hunting can reverse the trend so be it. But a valid argument can be made that it is simply pandering to a specific group, and will have little affect on overall hunter interest and numbers.
