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."

Unhappily we don't always change with IMPROVEMENTS to our sport.

Inlines are not 'improvements'.....they are DETRIMENTS!!!!! They are a detriment to the original reason we have 'primitive' seasons!! They do NOTHING to promote the original reason we have 'muzzleloading' seasons, which is historical, NOT managerial! If you are trying to piss me off, you are succeeding! You sit at your computer and type that I am elitist because I think that modern inlines are ruining the SPORT of traditional, primitive seasons? That's a GREAT position for a moderator to take.....thanks for the insult! The inline crowd is enjoying THEIR sport, alright.....at MY expense!!! I know that there are others out there that think the same as me!
There is a whole subsection on this board designed for modern inlines and thier ilk....I suggest that you promote their poison on that board, and leave the traditionalists alone.

If this is the crap I can expect from a "moderator' on this board, than I am done!

G.F.Y.!
