Yes, I too can see putting restrictions on new high power muzzleloaders. And I'm not sure that's such a bad idea. Drache is right, there are few places one can stand and not see a house, but the truth is Iowa is not a place for center fire rifles during deer season. Drache and I have talked about how the woods during shotgun season can be over-run with deer hunters. I won't even consider hunting first deer season anymore. I don't really even want to go bird hunting then. Now, I know even a shotgun slug travels over a mile, but I don't think we need bullets that can fly into the next county. I don't want to see this turn into a traditional m-loader vrs in-line discussion, because I own and love to shoot both. I guess asking us to use a little common sense might be asking too much. Jim
