[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2833614, member: 88320"] Because use bullet type and powder restrictions are impossible to enforce. No way to tell what is loaded in someone’s gun. This was discussed in NM before the scope ban. Everyone assumes that there will be more wounding with out scopes. I don’t know if this will be true. Guiding elk hunters I’ve seen a ton of elk wounded with people shooting muzzleloader a like they are center fire rifles, taking shots they shouldn’t or are not capable of. I think the wounding rate will stay the same or go down since people will be forced to take closer shots. You are going to see all western states start banning technology devices. States are banning trail cameras, scopes on muzzleloaders, computers linked devices. There is only so much game and continually increase harvest rates with technology will have an effect on populations. So would you rather sit home with no tag or have a tag with a muzzleloader with no scope. I think I would rather go hunting than sit at home. [/QUOTE]
