[QUOTE="DarryH, post: 2545905, member: 77108"] I shoot and hunt with muzzleloaders, I also sell them where I work. People are always asking me about traditional and in-line models. I tell them that in-lines are better in every way, but I also explain, they are a better TOOL to HARVEST game. Some folks NEED to take game to survive. These guys are better served with an in-line, Sidelocks, side-hammers, under-hammers, are all more traditional and challenging to use. Lots of folks, myself included prefer the challenge, but I am not hunting to survive. My newest one is a flintlock, smoothbore, with no rear sight. Commonly referred to as trade muskets or buck-n-ball guns, they are a challenge, and lots of fun. For years we were warned NOT to use smokeless powder in any of these guns, then Savage introduces a factory model that would shoot both types of powder. Sadly, a few people managed to blow up some of these, and Savage no longer recommends using the smokeless pow/3der. Now with custom guns, it is changing again. I don't care what type anyone uses. In Iowa and Nebraska, they say we are taking about a third of the number we need to harvest to keep the herds healthy. Nature is far crueler when culling, and we don't get to eat all that great meat. Same arguments apply for longbows, recurves, compounds, and crossbows. If herds get under control, or their numbers are to greatly reduced, the game commissions will step in to limit the hunting.
