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.
Just blowing off a little steam. And you are right, the woods are for everyone. But I think you misread the lines a bit, so I'll clarify my testy lines: We need more hunters, not fewer, and to that end inlines serve to get more involved. My contention is one easily ignored--these are clearly *modern* rifles whose only connection with the muzzleloading season is the fact that they load the bullet through the muzzle, and that is what the majority of the Game & Fish departments care about. Smokeless propellants, inline ignition systems, and high-powered scoped sights put these rifles into the modern category right there with bolt-action rifles. The inline is a modern rifle, and while the rifle's design might make it more appropriate for use in the *modern* or regular game season, we traditional muzzleloading hunters can welcome the company.
