Another good point....why is this nonissue all of the sudden an issue?
.....issues become issues only when someone brings them up.

From here post #97
Don't really know what happened since you joined the ABA, but most hunters don't feel it is right to through other hunters under the bus. Like it or not, the ABA did bring this issue up.
As for your question. See post #271 of the same thread.
If the majority of the ABA members do not support the ban or would like to see minimum standards, why not correct the situation?
Also the ABA has been back peddling on this issue, they had to do something.
