Hunting "wisdom" from a former elected official

Stumbled across this article while searching for something else. It should evoke some emotion in the bow hunters here.

Yeah clearly very dangerous considering it's been that way since 2010 as stated in the article and there haven't been any issues.  Good call Rose...

 

I've always thought the exact opposite when it comes to hunting distances from dwellings.  It's much safer to have someone hunting closer to a dwelling and shooting towards a safe area than trying to buffer away from the dwelling and possibly shooting towards it.  Roadways cited in this article are a great example, and likely a strategy many hunters employ whereas they hunt as close it as possible, both for a prime entrance/exit with  little impact to the hunting area, as well as having zero risk of every shooting towards and into the highway.
