Yes I think any "test" for things that people did for hundreds of years without it is a funny thing. esp something a 4 year old with a long stick, a lil line and a piece of metal formed in the right way with a worm on it can do.

I know that some people will not be acting in the best manner when hunting or fishing, but that is because THEY have chosen not to inform themselves; or they choose to ignore what is "RIGHT".

Not testing someone doesn't mean they will not respect the animals they hunt/fish, the weapons they use or the enviornment they inhabit.

To say that people need to take a "Test" to fish or hunt, is to me a modern day, money making scheme.

Perhaps a seminar, informative, teaching conservation, regulations, ect....I can see that...even make it mandatory everytime you renew your W.I.N. (which for years i never needed to fish....hmmm...wonder why).
