Supporters and opponents of bow hunting in county parks give their...

NEW CITY - More than a dozen people offered their opinion tonight on a proposal that could open county parks to bow hunting.

How stupid is this thought process? Hunting of any kind in any park is irresponsible. How many lawsuits because of some careless hunter hitting another person(who is enjoying a hike or whatever). Oh wait - like the rise in hit and runs-noone taking responsibility for their actions they too will run. So the County will now be held responsible. I don't mind folks hunting but NOT in a park.

Well I hate to tell you,It's already been done. I know because I was one of the first to implement it years ago. Your concern is admirable but if you knew the areas designated you would understand. Also, bow hunting.......unlike hunting with a firearm.....requires the hunter to be a lot closer and well aware of his target(Not that firearm hunters aren't )

Sue, that's foolish of you. Know what you're saying before you say it.
