Yes, this what we are discussing, the proposal of changes as they currently stand. I believe they are proposed for adoptions in the 2006 season.

That rifle...regardless of being a cartridge gun...is far more fitting for a primitive season than most I'm seeing toted into the woods. Course that's just my opinion. Looks like the law is making changes and folks are just gonna have to get use to it. Been some heated arguements between traditional and in-line folks...now we'll be adding the cartridge boys.

As I mentioned earlier, it makes little difference to me who is shooting what. I just wish that states would be historically correct when writing "primitive season" laws.

Rebel posted this on another thread, I thought it would be usefull here as well..thx Reb.
