Should archery hunts be limited to 40 yard shots? For some people, absolutely. But equipment has changed, practiced archers are out there, and I hear of 100 yard shots.
Muzzleloaders have changed. A 600 yard ML is quite common.
Rifles have changed. 1000+ shots are common.
Rangefinders, optics, packs, vehicles, etc. have all upped the game. Hard to draw the line. Cams have already been outlawed. No need to push MORE regs. Self control is where we need to push ourselves.
