Fair enough. I only ever eat baits when I haven't seen the 1080 signs.

Hunters are only human. Humans make mistakes. Mistakes with firearms get ugly easily.

I'm not anti hunting, I just reckon there's enough of the State available for hunting, without opening NP's up for it as well. I'd rather not have to worry about it when I walk or ride or whatever in a Park. I know it's part of the territory if I go to a State Forest, or on much crown land (like dogs, and motos), and would prefer that territory wasn't extended to NP's.
