Nah, only reason they opened up alot of these seasons in alot of states was get rid of more deer. Has very little to do with most states, of people wanting to put on a coon skin hat and going primitive. Believe it or not, I seen a joker like that with all this getup from the 1800's in the woods early muzzleloading season. Hey, daniel boone didn't have on blaze orange and neither did he with fur on his head!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I notice in states like my home state of Ky where the deer are not grossly overpopulated, they do or used to have limits like scopes and all. Maybe WV too, but in MD, with there huge population, they love the idea of a low Bullistic Coef. bullet going at only 2000fps in places with houses nearby. I know in other states it is a different story. Like in PA, where the kill rate is like 25% in a lot of wooded areas unlike the MD kill rate being 85%, they put limits on season like no percussion or scope. Makes sense to me.
