I do not disagree but hunters have not attempted to introduce or re-introduce such a polarizing issue in that time span either. The closest thing would be re-opening the grizz hunt in WY and the anti's went full bore on social and through the courts to try and did stop it. What I am saying is there is not, imo, sufficient reason to push for re-introduction of pods relative to the potential public perception damage that could be done with non-hunters and the additional infighting that would occur within our own ranks.
I’d settle for zero public fanfare for something that, to my eye, requires very little regulatory overwatch.
It doesn’t change the effort or cost of managing the resource. Unless possibly to the good.
With a few simple engineering controls, it doesn’t impact public safety to any material degree.
I mean, I don’t think you can get high with anectine. So there’s no recreational use/abuse vector to pursue.
Basically, it’s a nothing burger for anyone besides the user and the critter they shoot with it.
I’d sure like to hear more first hand accounts from the folks to regulated it out of use, on why they did so. So far I’ve just seen conjecture.
