I highly doubt that highend inlines will every impact the ML season in my state. Now you can even use a CF pistol and i dont care one bit. It does not effect me what someone else chooses to shoot. The selfish traditionalist just dont want to share the woods with anyone that is not like minded.
Plain and simple.
The traditionalist really don't have much of a voice anymore. Too small of a group. Over 90% of muzzy hunters now use inlines. That's the group i'm talking about. In Colorado we only have one ML season, and it's right in the middle of the rut for elk. They give us that, because our weapons whether inline, or sidelock are inferior in range to CF guns. When the difference between muzzleloaders and CF guns closes up is when the special season might be changed. It could still be an only ML season, but they could move it out of the rut. I've talked to the DOW before, and the response I get is.........we're keeping our eye on it.
