I don’t normally get involved with blogs it’s not like what we say even matters to our government, they will base there decision on what will make them the most money.
I own many flint locks and a Thompson center Encore 45 muzzle loader. They don’t even compare I spend a lot more time and energy hunting with my flints trying to get the deer in close, now I am more then accurate out to 100 yards with a PRB, but as any experienced muzzle loader knows only shots with in 50 yards are responsible. Now my inline on the other hand I can shoot out to 180 yards. How can anyone say there the same thing THERE NOT. One is next to water proof the other is not. One might go off the other will go off but there the same thing. Traditional seasons are just that traditional if you want to hunt longer every year step up and be a master hunter and by a flint. Other wise stick with your modern weapons where you’re almost guaranteed to make a kill. I don’t want to offend anyone but exercise a little common sense here.
