[QUOTE="billtyler, post: 182578, member: 4694"] Wow, I had no idea my thread would snowball like this. Reading these posts has been good for me—especially those from Bounty—and I’m glad I asked this question before I submitted a response to the ID F&G. I thought I had a solid opinion on this matter, but I’m sometimes criticized for being too one-sided in my arguments without considering the bigger picture. I’m trying to change that, which led me to pose the question in the first place. Glad I did. I can honestly say that after reading the comments and thinking about it a little more, my viewpoint on this matter has been altered. Thanks for the input. Closing doors to future hunters is a large concern of mine, as is creating further division within the sport. Though I have to say I was opposed to it in the beginning, it seems to me reversing the state’s muzzleloader definition and allowing the use of in-lines would be better in the long run. I’m a “traditional” ML shooter (though I’m confused on exactly what that is now :) ) and don’t like hearing myself say modern in-lines are OK in my book, but there’s too many strong points to ignore here whether you’re talking egos, personal preferences, medical/handicap needs, game management, $$$ for the F&G departments, roadblocks for getting youth involved, etc., etc. . . Bottom line is I wouldn’t want someone coming down on me for my preferred hunting method whether it’s bow, rifle, or whatever—so where do I come off trying to dictate how others should enjoy their experience? This has been a great thread for a new poster like me. Keep’em coming. [/QUOTE]
