Great White Eagle, while I respect your opinions, your spreadsheet shown is missing Texas, Tennessee, Texas, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. The only conclusions that I would draw are that the data is incomplete, and the regulations have nothing to do with animal cruelty or wildlife management practices. Allowing deer hunting with a .22 short as is the apparent code in Mississippi and no respecting hunter would harvest deer that way. The only apparent conclusion I can see is that there is no consistency, no science, and a need for review in each state if any ethical and responsible hunting regulations are to be required in each state.
