[QUOTE="Moose Whacker, post: 2535443, member: 41008"] Years ago where I live archery season started two weeks before rifle season, then black powder became popular and a [I][B]primitive weapons[/B][/I] season was created. Archers and black powder shooters didn't mix well so primitive weapons hunting areas were developed, that worked well for several years. People being people are always looking to get an edge on their competition, so in comes the inlines and the smokeless muzzleloaders equipped with scopes capable of outshooting many modern rifles. The romance of the primitive weapon has been flushed down the toilet!!! I agree that hunters today should be mandated to wear blaze orange or pink, with today's camouflage high vis clothing it can protect not only the hunter but the shooter as well. But and that's a big [B]but [/B]if certain areas are open to truly primitive weapons and I mean in the true spirit of [B]PRIMITIVE, [/B]flintlocks or percussion using traditional black powder and patch and ball or mini ball, and archers using traditional longbows or recurve, no compounds then and only then the hunter should be able to wear whatever he/she dam well wishes whether it be buckskins or high vis hat, jacket and pants.
