RE: Attn: Idaho Muzzleloaders
ORIGINAL: BrutalAttack Many within the organization are in support of the definition change because we saw way too many bucks and cows being harvested during the late seasons. They (inlines)are simply too efficient at a time when the animals are most vulnerable and attempting to put on weight to survive the winter. It may be that the number of inline guns make it look like there is an advatage, say if the ratio of inline to sidelock is 2 or 3 to 1 and actual performance is equal then yes it could be said the inlines kill more animals but it sure isn't due to any performance advantage of one style of gun over the other. The high harvest % numbers for muzzleloaders is due more than anything to the location and time of year the hunts occur, the results would be the same if those hunts were archery or centerfire, the time and location of a hunt is what makes the difference. |
RE: Attn: Idaho Muzzleloaders
Excellent, now we have a "federal agent" among us that can straighten us all out.
ORIGINAL: BrutalAttack The rules came about because the current commision wants to return to a "primitive" weapon hunt during the late season. That was the original intent when those hunts were added. That necessitated changing the definition of a muzzleloader. Many within the organization are in support of the definition change because we saw way too many bucks and cows being harvested during the late seasons. They (inlines)are simply too efficient at a time when the animals are most vulnerable and attempting to put on weight to survive the winter. There are many hunters that are making simple modifications to their current muzzleloaders to make them fit the new definition. |

BrutalAttack: Are you refering to the meeting last night when you say:
"Public comment has been nearly split with a slight advantage going to those infavor of the definition change." I was there and would have to say that the numer that testified against the rule changes, particularly the pivoting hammer requirement outnumbered those in favor significantly. How can you say that inlines with the same powder, same ammount of powder, exposed ignition with same ignition type, open sites, and same projectile is "simply too efficient" ? What adtvantage does an inline have when all of these other things remain equal? |
RE: Attn: Idaho Muzzleloaders
There is no advantage, to say otherwise is to perpetuate the big lie.
And you know what the Nazi propaganda minister used to say don't you? "If you repeat the lie often enough it becomes the truth" -Joseph Gerbels Hitlers master of propaganda" |

They (inlines)are simply too efficient at a time when the animals are most vulnerable and attempting to put on weight to survive the winter. Remember: inlines are still fine during the any weapon hunts so to say you just bought a boat anchor is overreacting just a bit. Public comment has been nearly split with a slight advantage going to those infavor of the definition change. |

You better get those filters on before I get there. I sure don't want to drink no stanky water!
