Last weekend I ran into three fellows at the range shooting blackpowder and boy were they opinionated!!! They were pleasant, but they sure as heck don' t want anything other than black powder and frontstuffers used in the ML season. What they were saying made alot of sense to me. As mentioned, in CO no pelletized powder, open sights only, and I think it has to be .54 for Elk. Plus, they get an entire month to hunt, during the middle of the rut! It is easy to see why people would want to get a centerfire equivalent in there, but, I dont think they should be legal for ML season.
