Get rid of 95% of the road hunters, get the lazy hunters off their arse. Never be scoped again during rifle season... Seems to good to be true.. Pipe dreams... Can you beleive I'm an American saying this...
Let the bashing begin...

There's a thought, let's take it another parallel step and ban vehicles to get to your hunting spot. That'll make it more of a challenge and weed out the guys who aren't truly committed. If it's worth putting an arrow in, it's worth carrying home. I like fresh vegetables as well as meat, and in a parallel to hunting I find it much more satisfying to grow them in our own garden, so logically we should ban produce sections in grocery stores because someones going to buy more veggies than they need and let them go to waste.
In a non-sarcastic comment to your wish to make things more challenging, we would probably get to your "no guns for hunting" utopia in stages; so we would likely have to eliminate long guns for hunting and replace them with handguns en route to our bowhunting and finally arrive at spear hunting as our true final agenda. I'd suggest knives or hand to antler combat, but that's just getting silly
You asked for a bashing
