[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5753084, member: 10399"] There is a trend away from “muzzleloader seasons” towards “primitive weapon seasons.” Basically just a way to sell more licenses by allowing people to use additional weapons during what use to be a more restricted season. Some states have already done this (MS I think?) and it has been tossed around the F&W Commission for a few years now. Of course that begs the question — how should we define a “primitive weapon?” Straight wall cartridge guns seem to be a popular choice for the line of demarcation. I’m 100% against it, but I have to acknowledge that it has become harder to determine where to draw the line. I shoot an in-line ML with 209 ignition. A true traditionalist could legitimately argue that this is a huge departure from what ML hunting was all about 20 years ago. And we already allow smokeless muzzleloaders that can accurately shoot 300 yards, which I am also against personally, but I don’t feel strongly enough about it to complain much. [/QUOTE]
