[QUOTE="Wanashoot, post: 2835026, member: 98612"] Just my two cents but muzzle loading was always considered a primitive hunt. I have done reg rifle and muzzle loading and I think there should be regulations to keep it that way. It is more of a challenge if you have to get within 150 yards to shoot. The season is earlier and you are more likely to catch them in the rut so you already have one advantage. I agree that some of the new modern guns are capable of longer shots but to me that takes away the primitive part of the hunt. I know that some states already limit you to open sights and loose powder and I have no problem with that. I am old enough to have problems with open sites so I put peep sites on mine. As far as loosing game most of it is from either a caliber or bullet being too small or a lack of practice. I have lost a bull with a muzzle loader that we found two days later and it was ruined but have friends that have lost them with modern rifles so it happens occasionally. We used to have to shoot with scopes during rifle season and I have also done that knowing that I was limited on distance I could effectively shoot. [/QUOTE]
