[QUOTE="Troutslayer, post: 182220, member: 4354"] Given the season, I think the weapon should be limited to a more traditional firearm. If you've got almost the same capabilities as a rifle then you probably shouldn't be hunting during the rut (which I'm pretty sure the season is). If everyone decided that it was a great idea to get an in line and hunt elk during the rut then elk quotas would probably be met several times over and the season would either get shorter the next year or they would do away with it. Might as well start rifle season at the same time as archery, that would be a slaughter. I agree that a round ball is not enough and whatever projectile will shoot should be acceptable in order to dispatch, not wound elk. We don't have a muzzleloader season in MT though there are quite a few people who wish we did. And as far as people saying that these regulations are dividing hunters and giving the left wing freakshows more ammunition, I think that is a little over the top. The regs are put in place in a way that game can be managed for both populations and sporting opportunities. [/QUOTE]
