SEATTLE -- Not everyone agreed with my critical comments about how the state allows juveniles to go out hunting in the woods without any adult supervision.

Scott Pietz writes: "Sorry Ken, not with you on this one...This one (tragic accident) is no reason to raise a hue and cry for more stringent measures on minors hunting alone."

Kim Moorman: "We don't need state officials in our business any more than they are now, which is way too much. If you start restricting youth hunting due to a terrible accident then I guess we need to restrict youth from baseball, skateboarding...and so on."

Chris Fussell: "Changing state laws won't stop 14 year olds from going out in the woods to hunt. We cannot keep creating laws thinking they'll help people become smarter or better, (it's all about parenting)."

Brian Petersen: "I don't believe the state is at fault with (its) decisions on (when people can hunt at what age)."

From Ed Wiggins: "Your hunting policy piece (was) really unfair...It wasn't the state policy (that was at fault). It wasn't the hunter safety course. It was the individual who pulled the trigger...Do you occasionally have to be a knee-jerk liberal to stay employed?"

Well Ed, I don't have to be. It just kind of works out that way.

Thanks for writing everyone.

Have a great weekend.

And be sure to join Ken, along with John Carlson, on "The Commentators", which airs every weekday from 3-6 p.m. on AM 570 KVI.

It's a lively exchange of information, insight and perspective with two guys who don't agree on much, but still manage to enjoy each other as they tackle issues of the day. Even better, callers are invited in on the verbal action.
