Big Game Hunting > Muzzleloader Hunting
WDFW survey

GoldTip:
WDFW hates me, so after spending the next 30 years hunting with a Muzzy and developing a love for it, when your eyesight starts to fail and you can't get a good sight picture with open sights, you planning to just give it up and go back to Modern firearm?  Not trying to start a pissing match here, just playing the devils advocate.

When your eyesight gets to where you can't focus on your rear sight, all you need to do is switch to a peep sight. No need for a scope. Scopes just don't belong on muzzleloaders, plain and simple.
WDFW Hates ME!!!:
I tell you what, in 30 years if we still have hunting i will still be hunting with a ML. If i physicaly can not hunt with it i will switch to a method i can hunt with. Sorry but i do not need the rules changed for me because i can't hunt the way i used to. Hunting should not progress, that is not what it is about. Hunting is a way for people to be in the outdoors sharing the heritage with family and friends. I do not care if i see a B&C bull or a B&C deer, io shoot the first legal animal i have a tag for. That is what i am out there for. Remember it is about the hunt, not the kill...

If they made it 65 and over with a sight imparement i might agree to it, but it opens to many doors if they make it a blanket rule.
Remember change the laws for the few but they affect the masses.

And i am not trying to start a pissing match, and i play devils advocate every now and then, but i get tired of people trying to change a traditional weapon to a modern  one when that was not the intent of the seasons set for them.

I agree WDFW, I say if they went with 209 and scopes they might at well scrap the ML season and just have a rifle/ML season and you can hunt with either one.  There already getting some good distances with those inlines.  I have a traditional with sidelock my grandpa gave to me. There would be alot of people switch to ML if they went with 209, closed to the elements and scopes.  Suppose to be a traditional weapon. Just my  :twocents:

MIKEXRAY:
I agree also. keep it traditional.
