States like Illinois are slug gun and ML/SML only. You cant even use a centerfire rifle to hunt deer. I would rather use a ML than pay well over $3 a pop for modern slugs. Practice would get insanely expensive.

Im all for giving traditionalists a season...take it from the several month long archery season before firearms. Good luck getting the archery boys to even give up a single day. Make them practice what they preach though, no subs. Real black and PRB or stay at home. There is nothing traditional about Triple7 or Pyrodex and conicals can shoot just as far as a 45/70.
