More states getting on the primitive bandwagon?

Post by blackpowderscout » Tue Jul 09, 2013 8:51 am

Indiana is now considering new rules for their primitive muzzleloader season....

(f) During the primitive muzzleloader season established in section 4(i) of this rule, an individual may
hunt deer only with a muzzleloading long gun as follows:
(1) Fire black powder or black powder substitute.
(2) Have a traditional, external side-hammer design.
(3) Be capable of being loaded only from the muzzle.
(4) Have a caliber of at least .45.
(5) Be loaded with a bullet at least four hundred forty-thousandths (.440) of an inch diameter.
(6) Have an ignition system that is flintlock or caplock.
(7) Use a lead round ball or lead conical bullet without plastic or other sabot.
(8) Have traditional-style open sights (fixed or adjustable v-notched rear sight, buckhorn rear sight,
metallic rear peep sight, and post or blade front sight).
(9) Not have telescopic or other sights that incorporate glass or electronics.

The whole list of proposals is here: http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/20130 ... RA.xml.pdf

The way I understand it from my limited following of their hunting rules, they added a primitive muzzleloader on top of their other seasons. That's the way I wish Florida would do it. More hunting time and no net loss of hunting days.
