tkroenlein Posted December 11, 2019 at 04:03 AM Posted December 11, 2019 at 04:03 AM The opposition to straight walled cartridge rifle hunting season is hunters. Same groups that opposed crossbows.

Yes I would say that too I knew a guy that said your not a hunter unless you use string and stick His string and stick was a compound bow and carbon arrows with a trigger release

After many a year eating tag soup, I'll take any legal advantage I can. I now even own a crossbow, given the price of new bows vs. crossbows and also the accuracy factor (not really any practical range extension). Given the performance of modern "muzzle loaders", there isn't much performance difference between them and the straight walled cartridge rounds we're seeing now. Muzzle loader season should be "firearm" season and include rifles. Perhaps the purists like the limited firepower of muzzle loaders and don't want rapid fire. Could they settle for a no semi-auto limitation that a lot of states have?
seanc Posted December 11, 2019 at 11:10 PM Posted December 11, 2019 at 11:10 PM I think in many parts of Illinois, hearing a rifle round during deer season is enough to get an uptight neighbor to jack up their pants and start dropping dimes to the conservation po po.Legal or not. Yep, I agree. For me it was really refreshing to step out of the inlaws house this turkey holiday in Arkansas and hear the rifle reports coming from every direction, the father in law said a lot of land around him is rented out by the local deer club(s). You should be in Michigan on opening day, 30 minutes before sunrise. I find myself trying to get tiny and snuggle up tight to the tree and remind myself there's too many trees between me and them, a bullet will never make it through! Completely different reality there. The early morning news is filled with hunting specific weather info and announcements on the location of each towns buck pole and the after party info too. It's like a 2nd 4th of July each November 15th.

It's like that in upper Wisconsin as well, I was doing a job up there and on opening week of deer season they close all the schools, pretty much every ma/pa business closes as well, and all they talk about is deer. At the time we were doing a home remodel up there and every other contractor working the gig took the entire week off, it was surreal.

max503 Posted July 21, 2020 at 01:51 PM Posted July 21, 2020 at 01:51 PM I'd love to be able to use my new 357 rifle for deer.

Longrange454 Posted July 25, 2020 at 10:53 AM Posted July 25, 2020 at 10:53 AM Any of the old black powder cartridges as far as i'm concerned. I have a 45/90 i'd like to use or even my 444 Marlin.
Ranger Posted July 27, 2020 at 04:14 PM Author Posted July 27, 2020 at 04:14 PM Gave in and bought a Savage 220 slug gun. Would still like to see straight walled cartridges allowed; but...
Ranger Posted July 27, 2020 at 04:20 PM Author Posted July 27, 2020 at 04:20 PM FWIW: I've very nearly gone the AR 300 route. Might yet at some point. Could serve two purposes as yours does.
ragsbo Posted July 27, 2020 at 07:29 PM Posted July 27, 2020 at 07:29 PM I see no reason to stick with the shotgun/muzzleloader only for deer. With the modern weapons, there is not that much difference. Just politics. AND the way they wrote the handgun hunting rules is just stupid. More of "we'll let you do it but not really"
