Anyone been out?

skeet,

Points well taken; we agree that flintlocks are more fussy than the more reliable #11 caps and 209 primers. Some Longhunters choose to use the old flinter way of hunting and should have a separate hunting season. No way is a muzzleloader
"just a muzzleloader." Yes, technology has advanced, but what is wrong with hunting (or fishing) the HARDER WAY?

I do not think I am a elitist if I support a flintlock deer season for 3 weeks in PA. We have barbless hook trout streams and catch-and-release streams. Everyone knows the restrictions BEFORE they participate in the sports. If a person cannot manage a flintlock, then hunt with an inline in the October ML season or the general rifle deer season. NO inline user is being denied the opportunity to hunt. As Clint Eastwood said, "A man needs to know his limitations."
