[QUOTE="TerryLamb, post: 455755, member: 15377"] Holy Smoke, I remember when muzzloaders fired #11s or musket caps, used blackpowder and lead balls or maxi's, any scope was prohibited, and those caps (or even flints) had to be exposed to the elements. Actually, in Idaho most of that is still true. The evolution of muzzloaders into in-line (covered) ignitions, optical sights, saboted clad projectiles, pellet propellants etc. has made these remarkably far-reaching weapons now. Kind of high-powers without the brass case. That evolution has resulted in dramatically higher success rates for hunters with a correspondingly drastic decrease in seasons for "muzzleloaders" in many states. Some states now see the problem and have instituted "primitive" weapons only seasons in an effort to offer some seasons to those who more prefer to rough it, while the future for the current high-tech trend is to simply morph back into high-power seasons for all.
