Deer Lottery Deadline

[AR-15]

got my state wide license today

I’ve said it before. Change the rules to primitive only and open sights. Have all the tags you want cause nobody will want to deal with it. All these inlines make it too easy and everyone is just looking at an extra tag. Get back to the original intent of having a muzzleloader tag.

I’d enjoy the challenge of that even though I’m typically lazy when it comes to prepping outdoor equipment.

Week before opener

Yeah and besides that a guy pretty much has to get out of the pick-up to reload the damn things

 

[Bacon]

Be same number of applicants. People would just buy a primitive muzzleloader with their Biden handouts

Maybe, maybe not. But what you could do is double the tags cause the success rate would be half what it is now. Your limited to 100 yds or less vs the 200 with the inlines. With no scope I would guarantee the success rate would be considerably less. Most wouldn’t put in the time and practice to get good enough. Hell, most can’t hit shit with modern firearms.

Probably double the tags with half the success rate alright but probably also twice as many gut shot or poorly placed shots on deer that would eventually die and never make it to the freezer.

If you want it that way, back to primitive. Then park your pickup and start riding a horse. No modern clothing or boots, dress in buckskin and wear moccasins.. No triple H has to be blackpowder. Now thats primitive.

How about throwing rocks and sticks?

Seems legit....

Doesn't matter if it's archery equipment, ML's, or centerfire rifles. It seems everyone has a "technology-point" at which they're happy jumping on or off the bandwagon. I can recall a time that a hand-held Laser Range Finder was a "grey area" regarding legality for hunting big game. They were the size of a shoe-box and measured out to a whopping 400yds.

You hear the same thing w/Archery. No peeps, no pins, no cams, no this, no that. But, you don't see most of those types knapping their own flint broad heads, fashioning cedar shafts, winding animal sinew into strings, or finding the appropriate branch from which to fashion their own bow.

For the Muzzle-loader traditionalists, you're going about your crusade all wrong. Sighting devices, powder charges, and bullet shapes aren't going to stop folks from enjoying the discipline. Outlaw Stainless Steel and make folks clean their ML regularly and the participants will drop like flies.

 

[guywhofishes]

Clean regularly? Eff that. I'm out.

 

[lunkerslayer]

I think it should be up to the land owners as to what type of killing aperatice should be allowed, if said land owner will let me shoot with a drone that's equipped with a semi auto caliber rifle I'm all for it. :;:stirthepot

I would be in favor of this ONLY if we have some sort of electronic app to designate what is all allowed on each piece of every landowners property...you know something to make it easy on the hunter and the landowner. ;:;popcorn

All kidding aside, I have not cleaned a one of my guns in probably 5 years

 

[Jiffy]

John you are not in the minority.

 

[guywhofishes]

I find it more efficient to only maintain equipment when failures due to lack of maintenance alert me to the need to have maintained it better.

This is where a time machine would be super handy.

Yes absolutely we will need an app for that for sure. Oooo the possibilities would be endless as to what a person can do with in the guidelines as to what the government would allow.

I'm still looking for a damn loin cloth big enough for my behind! ;:;rofl

It's a damned shame that elephant parts are no longer importable.

Model T road hunting only?

Model T road hunting only?

Conestoga only, you futurist. Will let you choose between mule, oxen, or horse drawn.
