does your sidedrifting rig consist of the typical double sz 6 barbed octopus hooks???? if it does, there is even more proof that that rig needs to be banned. a double barbed hook rig undoubtly increases mortality over a single barbed and ofcourse a single barbless setup.

secondly, it isnt good to play God. that 24" wild hen you killed may have contributed just as much to the population as a 40" wild buck that was cracked over the head. let em all go......
