I guess I understand the idea of no scope in some states, although 1 state only allows scopes for residents, that seems illegal to me to not allow non-residents.
and in this day in age, kids grow up having never shot a rifle with rifle sights...
I'd personally want a modern ML with a scope.
the concept of a Primitive season, was designed I GATHER< for primitive weapons, and then the muzzleloader seasons,
and these IMO were crated to give more chances for ways to harvest deer, get more folks involved and and sell more lic/tags
NO where is it all about making one hunter more successful or not,
when you hunt with ANY weapon, its the shooters job to KNOW there limits and best there skills to be able to be as clean killing as possible, NO matter WHAT weapon they hunt with or sights on it.
if your NOT able to make clean kills shots, DON"T be shooting at living critters, its NOT a poke and hope type of game !
and there is NO reason a kid shouldn't know how to use open sights, its silly for them NOT to!
the more they learn the better off they will ONLY be down the road ! in all area's of life too, NOT just shooting and hunting IMO!
