The state gets to decide what punishment fits the crime. Most countries, unlike the US, are very serious about preventing gun violence. They feel that the punishment is right for the crime, therefore it is. When traveling abroad you have to suspend the idea that the American way is the right way...
The first cold day of the first duck season that the law required non-toxic shot, I wore a parka I hadn't used since the year before. There just happened to be two shells in a pocket loaded with lead. That day is the only day I have ever been checked by a game warden while duck hunting. Nobody...
You complain about the forest being litter with all those brown speckled snow snakes, but it can be worse. There are people who leave a deposit and don't mark it in any way. They just leave it hidden there on the forest floor, waiting for some innocent, unsuspecting Forest Service employee...

Special use permits are required for all sorts of things being done on public lands. They range from wanting to film a hunting, hiking or fishing trip for a some commercial use to power and pipeline easements to operating a fishing lodge, being hunting outfitter or running a ski resort, cell...
I don't know where the term came from, but I do know I killed my first elk with that shot. It was sorta, kinda by accident and I'm not real proud of my youthful discission making that day but I was sure happy to get my first elk. I was bow hunting and that blood trail was amongst the best I have...
