http://scginfo.com/c...n-the-americas/ Trouble has been knocking at our doorstep for quite a while. It looks like trouble has started to make it's way in, slowly but surely. This is real folks, we need to educate, inform, and prepare ourselves for what is coming. With our current governmental climate, I can see this being proposed somewhere in the US in the future. By Agence France-Presse Costa Rica is set to be the first country in the American continent to ban recreational hunting after the country’s legislature approved the popular measure by a wide margin. The bill, which bans hunting for sport but still allows culling and subsistence hunting, was approved late Tuesday by a 41-5 vote. Congress will revisit the issue on Thursday, but the second round is seen as just a formality. President Laura Chinchilla, who supports the measure, is expected to sign it into law in the next days. The ban, which does not affect fishing for sport, does allow researchers to hunt for scientific purposes. Hunters violating the ban would have to pay a fine of up to $3,000. Costa Rica supports an enormous variety of fauna, and is one of the countries with the highest density of biodiversity in the world. Wildlife in Costa Rica include jaguars, armadillos, deer, sloths and several species of monkeys, as well as a variety of birds, amphibians and reptiles. Some two million people visit Costa Rica each year — a $2 billion business — and the country’s natural reserves and variety of species are a great attraction.

Congrats and thanks for sharing!

I'll be heading down to Baja California late next week for a South of the border quail hunt. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

One thing that we definitely CAN do is realize that the off road groups are with us in wanting to keep lands open. You bring up a good point too.

Great bull. Congratulations!

My thoughts and prayers are with them.
