"Primitive Weapons" Season Bites The Dust In Mississippi

You're right about that but with the recent incident that happened in Boston, it may soon become very difficult to get black powder for those of us that prefer to use it. If black powder skyrockets in price or becomes difficult to obtain (like .22 rimfire ammo has), the resulting loss of traditional muzzleloading hunters in Pennsylvania may prompt the state to enact similar measures in an effort to re-coup lost revenue. I hope Pennsylvania never does this with our traditional ML season.

I thought I was the only one concerned about that happening. I mean, I'm not real worried, but it's definitely a concern for me.
I would certainly appreciate MN allowing scopes. I don't think not allowing them stops people from taking long shots. I think it increases people wounding deer, just from a few stories I've heard.
I do know that if MN specifically were to start allowing rifle/shotgun, I would be done with muzzleloaders. I'd get shot for sure. This is why I initially got started with them- I can hunt the entire season and not see anyone else. Not the case during shotgun season.

When I first saw the explosion in Boston. My first thought was it was black powder. The huge white cloud of smoke couldn't have been anything else. My second thought was this is going to make getting BP harder. Of course, I was also thinking about the people getting hurt, and what coward did this.
Well, the powder question was answered fast.
