[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2858903, member: 29765"] I’d also ask why do you need a muzzleloader that’s ungodly accurate and shoots smokeless powder? Why not, at most, a “traditional” inline with loose powder and 209s? Why not a flintlock or percussion muzzleloader? I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with the smokeless muzzleloaders, I think they’re great. I’m only asking why should someone be able to shoot one during what is, at least in most western states, a limited entry and easier to draw than a rifle tag, tag? The whole point of most of those tags is to increase opportunity while not terribly increasing harvest rates. With increased range from ungodly accurate smokeless muzzleloaders those opportunities will decrease. So the question is do we want more or less opportunity? If it’s more, then the ungodly accurate and range increased smokeless muzzleloaders aren’t going to get us there. This is the point I’ve been trying to make; If you want increased range and accuracy, hunt during a rifle season. If you want increased opportunity then hunt with less of a muzzleloader. [/QUOTE]
