RE: Trying to get a MZ season in Montana
"feature article that appeared in the MISSOULIAN newspaper (Missoula, MT) on the morning of Tuesday, April 1, 2008."
Since that was in the April fools edition I assumed it was a joke. It truly is no joke that both bowhunters and muzzloaders are in fighting terms. I personally do not have a problem with added seasons as I hunt with all weapons as much as I can. Is Montana fairly flat terrain? I could see the issue if bowhunters were out in the open and competing with muzzleloader hunters that could be a safety issue. I know in Illinois they have no rifles allowed during gun seasons and only allow shotguns. Here in MO we can shoot anything in our hilly terrain. It really depends on who is voicing their opinions to the Montana game commission as to who will win that one.
