I think you guys are not reading the whole article. It talks about rifles made prior 1900 or replicas. Inlines were not made prior to 1900. They do talk about exposed hammer rifles. I personally like this primitive season because this would be a true primitive hunting season. I always thought I should be able tohunt my 1874 Sharps using BP cartridges. I don't necessarily think they should do away with the ML season per se. A primitive season should be in addition to the other seasons. But like most of us, I don't think I will ever hunt in La.

I think that the reference to the larger then .38 cal. was a typo.
