My point is, someone hunting with them does not effect me in the slightest. Just like someone using a Encore or Contender "hand rifle" has no effect on me using a muzzle loader. Both are legal to use during our "so called" muzzle loader season.

I simply don't care what anyone uses as long as its legal.

Not everybody feels that way. I have a special license to use a scope in muzzy season. I never used it, but always wondered how it would go if I did. I asked a bunch of hunters locally what they'd do if they saw a hunter using a scope in muzzy season. Half of them said they'd turn them in.

I did the same thing with bow hunters, and half of them said the same thing. Then I asked the bow hunters what they'd do if they saw a hunter using a scoped crossbow in archery season. About 90% said they'd turn them in. I also have a special license allowing me to use a scoped xbow in archery season. Of course I never used it.

Caps aren't primitive to me at all. Even though they might be considered primitive.

Please show me were I wrote PRB'S are not ethical.

Yes, ive shot many many Deer with a PRB. But only because the law said I had to.

Yes, I agree

Here's your quote, but you contradicted yourself. At first you say game shouldn't suffer with primitive guns which would lead someone to think it's not ethical. Then say it's ok if it's ethical.


"I don't think game should suffer because a few want to use primitive everything. But the law shouldn't keep those primitive guys from doing what they want either as long as its ethical."

Here's my quote Muley.

You should not assume. If you don't understand just ask.

I feel every one should use the best possible bullet on game they can by law.. If its PRB season, I feel they should use the best roundball and maybe even caliber to harvest game with a PRB. I also think people should use the best rifle bullet they can in rifle season.

Maybe you'll understand this better. If its primitive season, I think you should find the best bullet a loud by law and use it. If you wanna use a PRB, spend the time and use the one that's best on the particular game you are going after.

If I had to go back to using PRB'S I would buy atleast a 54cal Muzzleloader from what I learned from members on this board. Ive shot plenty with a 50cal, and I don't want that aggravation anymore.

You said this.

"I don't think game should suffer because a few want to use primitive everything."


A bold statement to those who like traditional hunting. You can say what you want to defend that, but the statement stands by itself.

I've had my say. No reason to say more which would then just be an argument. Which i'm not interested in. Of course you'll get the last word. Have at it. Try to do it with no personal insults.

Yes, it was a reply to you wanting to change or hoping to change Colorado seasons. And if I want to use a PRB in Colorado rifle season I have that right.

Well then why would you consider a flintlock that primitive. It was a tremendous improvement on the Matchlock - now that would be primative!

Maybe a spear would qualify?
