[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2569631, member: 9299"] I hear what you are saying. My old home state has done a very similar thing, and for the past many years, they have allowed "pre-1891 or replicas" breach loading, single shot firearms, usually 45-70 or such, for the "primitive weapons" season. Even the old muzzle loaders can now have scope sights, sabot and jacketed bullets, inline with shotgun primers, etc, etc. Many of these weapons shoot very similar to modern rifles and have long range capabilities. While I own modern inlines, I almost never hunt game with them. I still hold to my old 36-54 cal side hammers, and as I have grown older, I find I am using traditional BP more and more and moving away from the substitutes. I guess I am missing "the good old days" and all the excitement it once brought, and the feeling of achievement when the game was taken with traditional smoke poles. [/QUOTE]
