Default RE: savage 10ml ???????????

I despise inlines, and I will never buy one.

They are a legalistic way of taking advantage of hunting seasons intended for traditional muzzleloading rifles. They are modern rifles, pure and simple, especially the Savage that uses "smokeless" powder, and do not teach the shooter either the shooting skills or hunting techniques that come with using tradtional muzzleloading rifles. The only advantage to having "inline" muzzleloading rifles available is that it gets more "shooters" into the woods to kill more deer when the deer population is growing every year. However, they should wait until the modern rifle season begins to use their modern, single shot rifles, because that is what they are. But then they wouldn't use the "inline," preferring an auto-loader, lever gun, or bolt action rifle instead.

Just my $0.02. Somebody needed to say it.
Ok, reading between the lines here. What you really are saying is, dang it, I am mad, that there are more hunters in the woods in what used to be a low pressure season where me and my fellow traditionalist could have more woods to ourselves.

I understand your pain. I used to feel the way about traditionlist with ML as a serious bowhunter. Where the ML is a crutch that doesn't teach you the hunting skills to get close to your game and ML hunters should wait until the firearms season instead of scaring our realatively unspooked game. Where really some of ML seasons are impeding with our long and warm season of bowhunting.

But I just go with the flow, and break out a ML that week and hope you traditionlist making all that noise doesn't scare the crap out of the deer so we can get back to real hunting with a bow.

I bet someone is hold his knife or spear saying the same about us bowhunters. Sometimes you have to think a little outside the box my friend and remember with a gun, be it ML or centerfire, its very easy to kill game comparied to alot of hunting out there. And your idea of spirit definately isn't the same as everybodies.

And remember public woods is for everybody, you got to share em.
