[QUOTE="1984dog, post: 5818161, member: 22861"] I'm from Mississippi. 40 years ago, Mississippi had a ML season that typically ran from Dec 2 - Dec 15th. Where I hunted, it was peak rut and I basically had the woods to myself and had an absolute blast. Back then, you could only use powder (no pellets) and scopes were not allowed. ML hunting had basically a 75 yd range and sometimes your gun did not fire (or had a delayed fire) - it was fun and challenging. Mississippi then changed regulations to allow straight wall cartridges and scopes during primitive weapon season and now they allow weapon of choice on private land. I did not like the change - but my brother reminded me that no one is stopping you from hunting with your old TC Renegade. Today, ML technology has changes so much that there is not much difference between ML and using a straight wall (444, 45-70 etc. with a scope). I have a Traditions Nitrofire and scope, but it is basically a mechanism to improve odds of drawing a tag in Illinois, Kansas and Iowa. My TC Renegade and 444 Marlin have become safe queens. [/QUOTE]
