Bill…
In a posting from 11/13/07 that pointed to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article on hunter safety you wrote “It’s the deer hunter database! Familiar to anyone who has ever taken or taught an IRE training course. I wouldn’t be who I am today with the deer hunter database.”
Were you being sarcastic or is there really a searchable national deer hunter safety database?
Thanks! I’m trying to research some claims made by advocates for a lower hunting age in Wisconsin.
