Why will Mississippi allow single shot big bore

[Sharecropper]

Rifles to be used during m/loading season and we can't here in TN.
Serious question, I am hoping a TN Game Warden may be on the forum.
I would love to use my 45-70 , I just love to shoot it.
My family in MS borrow it to use during there season.

It's not a muzzleloader. But feel free to go to the Twra question forum. They will answer your question for you

You can do a search it has been discussed on here a lot in the last several months.

You found it quicker than me stik. LOng story short it is not needed and not likely to happen.

 

[Chaneylake]

they are just to accurate at long distance

iron sights used on this target

it took me less than 10 minutes to fire this 10 shot group using my Shiloh Sharps .40-65 Black Powder Cartridge Rifle

The answer is quite simple. They want to and do not care if it is muzzleloading or not. TN does care. I don't know why, they just do.

Dont see it as a big deal either way

 

[easy45]

Because its called muzzleloader season

 

[TheLBLman]

Heck, why does Mississippi have an alligator season and we don't have an alligator season in Tennessee? This just ain't fair!

WHY I ask you? Just why do they get to hunt alligators and we don't?

I think we all need to show up at the next commission meeting and demand TWRA open an alligator season in Tennessee.

Not to come off as a smartbutt but you can shoot your 45-70 all you want during rifle season or cross the state line and hunt with it in Mississippi.
