But you see, I own 10 White inlines and no flintlocks. A flinter would have cost ????? and my little device cost less than $5.00. This whole rule change in Idaho was the result of a small vocal group who have thier nose out of joint because they can't stand to have anyone hunt with a gun that does not look like thier fantasy world idea of what a muzzleloader should look like. Never mind that both styles of gun, given like projectile and powder charge will perform the same (velocity, energy and trajectory). Add to that a F&G department and commissioneers thatare willing to lie about overharvests and game population numbers in order to facilitate a vocal few.

I am an AMERICAN and I will not be treated like some kind of crimminal or other low life second or third class citizen just because I choose to hunt with a modern looking gun.

BTW, your beautiful scoped rifle would not be allowedin any tradtionalmuzzleloader season in Idaho, too bad cause it sure does shoot good. And your velocity numbers make my point, that it matters not the mechanism that lights the fire. Your load is a stout one but very accurate, your target also sugests that you are an excellent marksman too.
