| GoldTip:
Look I agree, I do not want to see the muzzle loader change to be nothing more than a long range single shot firearm that is loaded from the front. But if you guys wanna keep screaming keep it traditional, then why the inlines at all? Why the legalization of pelletized powder and saboted bullets? The fact of the matter is hunting has progressed and many people switched to Muzzleloader seasons due to the decreased pressure and people in the woods. Remember 30 years ago when they made the switch, there were probably fewer rifle hunters at that time than there are muzzle loader hunters now, and maybe thats why they made the switch, hell maybe thats why you guys made the switch. And in 30 years there will probably be as many Muzzy hunters as there are currently rifle hunters. The point is despite not wanting hunting to progress it does, also just that simple. I didn't say anything about enclosed 209 primers and I am not advocating using a leupy 3x9. Simply a form of sighting which does little to "magnify" the site picture and yet puts the sighting on the same plane, thats all. Just my :twocents: |

I think the Muzzy hunters should be allowed to use scopes, though nothing greater than 2 power, this would help those with deficient or aging eye sight. --- End quote --- Just finished the Survey. GoldTip have your patients looked in to getting a disabled hunter exemption to allow for optics on their ML? I don't know how bad their vision is, but it is something to suggest. |

I first started ML hunting for elk over 20 years ago because I wanted to get away from the crowds, but what I found was the crowds were bad w/ ML elk hunting too because of the small amount of units that were open. It concentrated all the ML hunters into a very small area. I did it for a few years and then went back to rifle hunting. I'm now back ML hunting because they have more units now. I'd hate to see them change the ML rules which would cause more people to take it up. That's why I want the rules to remain the same as they are but to just add even more units. |

[/quote] Interesting perspective on too many areas open and I guess the same applies in having the ML get too modern. Makes me think differently about some issues. Thanks for the thoughts. |
