Your point is well taken and you are correct about the rejuvination of muzzle loaders with the advances.
I have taken game most every MODERN LEGAL weapon. It just seems like some of the hunting heritage is missing or going down hill. I am not trying to support any anti hunting crap by any means.
I am just as guilty as I shoot a Scoped High Power Rifle as well as a compound with all the bells and whistles.
I don't know... Maybe the answer would be more Primitive hunts in the states. I just kind of held muzzle loading as a sacred art as we have advanced every other method of hunting.
