What the poster is talking about is the the actual muzzleloader season, antlerless deer only where you can use inline, percussion or flintlock. You probably should not be calling other states rules stupid, I am pretty sure we could find some of yours less than desirable but are gentleman enough not to say it since it is not our sate.
At any rate the flint lock only law is a stupid law just like the no Sunday hunting law that many states have.. I wouldn't want to see a long bow only season.. What I would really like to see is some game law standardization for state to state..
And yes I too could find several game laws in GA stupid, but I don't take it personal like you obviously do... I didn't write the law so why should I get bent out of shape....and you shouldn't either..
