[QUOTE="sun, post: 4965949, member: 8678"] Yes and no. No, It was less about bending and more about simply providing. It went from no hunting to limited hunting because the deer were just beginning to come back from extinction after being wiped out for 200 years. Our first deer hunting season in CT was in the 1970's. The need to have smooth rifles was met so that hunters didn't need to use an old Brown Bess or a fowler that didn't even have a rear sight. Yes, like the Northwest Edition muzzle loaders that have an exposed action to meet the rules in NW states. And the Colorado ban on sabots prompted the Federal BOR Lock bullets that have a gasket attached to it that doesn't separate like a sabot would. But states often change hunting reg's based on the size of their deer herd and management goals. CT legalized the CVA Electra as a muzzle loader. It's considered to be loaded until the battery is removed. Before that change, muzzle loaders had to be percussion or flintlock ignition. Before that we could only use 1X scopes until the first fast twist guns and then inlines came on the market Then we were allowed to use high power scopes and sabots, but they moved ML season from Sept. to December when there can be snow and ice. But these changes are due in part to statistics of car - deer crashes on the roadways. The insurance companies don't like to see so many crashes, and they advocate for expanded deer hunting through the state game agencies. [/QUOTE]
