FG, you have been spending WAY too much time on the Trad site. You are starting to use the same lame arguements as Roundball.

I understand you have found a newfound love in traditional rifles recently. That is great and I am truly happy for you. I also appreciate what you have done with some very inexpensive rifles you have bought.

BUT, use your own head to think this through. You have made the case very strong here that a traditional rifle with equal sites can shoot just as good as an inline. So why do you suggest now that Idaho might have to reduce the number of tags IF they let inlines back in?

Please go back and read those other threads that I referenced and that you just mentioned in your post. In them, I stated some direct questions to Roundball or anyone else that could answer. Roundball never did, he just disappeared for awhile until the thread disappeared down the list. Then he can pop back in later, take his pot shots and then when he gets challenged, just disappear again. If he really wanted to debate the issue and the FACTS, he wouldn't run away every time he is challenged.

I won't post the whole thing again, but I would just like for someone to post a link to the study that Idaho did to determine the changes were necessary. Or provide some statics that indicate that inlines are so much more effective than traditional rifles. They said it was for game management, but where is the justification? If they provide the justification, I for one would shut up about it. I would think if they had it, they would provide it to get people off their backs.

As for the traditional part of the hunting, as Sabotloader and Goatbrother (both with many years of experience inIdaho), have stated, this was always a MUZZLELOADER season, not a TRADITIONAL season.
