Yes. But you have to dig a little deeper as to the "why" that is.

The kind of folks you're talking about are looking for a means to allow them legal access to the woods. Period. If a man is looking to extend his hunting season (to include bow season), he's probably not going to pick up a weapon that gives him "fewer" advantages (trad tackle) if the compound is available to him and legal. If you openeda season and just called it "primitive"....and let them choose between a ML and a bow.....do you think you'd see more "slobs" grab a ML or a bow?

I just think attaching a stigma (good or bad) to a weapon is unfair. There's a contingency that thinks a LOT of trad hunters are slobs because they wound animals. I saw a thread like that on AT, last week.

Sad.
