This sounds like a compound bow versus traditional bows versus crossbows. Oh my!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

I think MO uses ML as another avenue for managing the herd. I don't mind, they seem to do a good job here.

I don't see how a traditional ML using a flintlock could care what the guy next door is using. Like has been said, as long as they make a quick clean kill, thats what really matters.

A friend of mine LOVES his TC Hawkens is it?? He is considering selling his other guns and just using it from now on. I am getting a pistol, he tells me its not traditional enough, I tell him to hunt his way and have fun. For me personally, firearms seasons here, including the ML season, is what I call an opportunity. If I don't have a deer from early bow season, its an opportunity to get some meat in the freezer. If I have one already, I am trophy hunting, and the guns help me reach out a little more. But thats me, for others it means something else, and thats GREAT!

Heck, I like bowhunting so much I kind of wonder why I hunt with the 30-06 anymore. I guess for a change.
