[QUOTE="notgreg, post: 5759248, member: 21062"] I take your point about the increased effectiveness of modern inlines. But another angle… I don't know where to find the numbers, but I have to imagine that the number of general gun licenses sold is quite a bit higher than the number of muzzleloader licenses(may be way wrong here, though). Probably a combo of reasons: muzzleloaders are more annoying to deal with, some people can't afford another gun, etc. something is (I'm guessing) keeping a pretty significant number of hunters out of the woods in mz season. Have to assume a chunk of those folks on the sidelines would pile into that mz season if it were open to certain rifles. Maybe TWRA would love to see the same number of people in the woods during mz as rifle season, but would I? Eh. And while I agree that the practical difference between a new muzzleloader and the rifles under consideration isn't very large, I don't know anyone who keeps lugging their muzzleloader into the woods once they have the option to switch mid-Nov., and this thread is proof that there are plenty who would do the opposite given the chance. So in the minds of most hunters there must be some difference. [/QUOTE]
