[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2695941, member: 8394"] My rifle is radically different than 30 years ago, granted 30 years ago I was a small child... guess fair play I've significantly updated my red rider since I was 6. The whole rational behind bows and muzzle loaders getting early seasons, special tags and times is to give them an advantage to offset the significant inefficiencies of primitive weapons. Eliminate those efficiencies and you eliminate the need for the special season. Most of those seasons were fought for by well meaning people packing hawkin style rifles fighting to maintain a tradition way of hunting. States responded with the special seasons, but many years later we've come to the point where regulators go "hey that's not why we give you special stuff". Probably the easiest way to do that was eliminate magnified optics. Then we get to the good old fashioned red herring of "but but.... hypocrite ". Rifle season is like open class, your only limited by your imagination, budget and some times a caliber minimum. It's been like that in most states for long before my time. It's open to any and all, even your "muzzle loader". [/QUOTE]
