[QUOTE="Troutslayer, post: 182335, member: 4354"] If the intended purpose of a muzzleloader season is to give people who prefer more traditional methods a chance then I am for keeping it and keeping it seperate the same way archery season is seperate. Archery season is longer than rifle and at a time when elk are more vulnerable and easier to kill at close range. So yes, I do not approve a season that gives people unfair advantages over game, that will hurt populations and since I live in the state right next door and hunt the state line sometimes I do have some interest in keeping Idaho's elk populations high. This has nothing to do with ego, I really don't care if people are hunting them with atlatls or sharp sticks or the other end of the spectrum either. I just don't think that the state of Idaho needs to drive muzzleloader sales through regulations and I feel like that is what some of you want. You compare muzzleloader hunters to the disabled. Do you really feel like that is a fair analogy? So hunting with a muzzleloader is like being disabled? If that is the case then maybe all muzzleloaders should have to hunt from a wheelchair. I'm for keeping the season as long as it is fair and not just some reason to buy another gun that is capable of killing an elk at 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
