Re: Idaho passed some interesting new rules...
I cut my teeth on a T/c Hawken, and patched round balls. I will admit I am an inline guy now, but would LOVE to see Fla go to some select traditional m/l quota hunts. I would drag them back out of retirement

Re: Idaho passed some interesting new rules...
I think FL should have a muzzleloader just like they do now AND THEN have a primitive along the lines of what Idaho and other states have....but Florida should simply add more days to the hunting season. So there would be no loss for anyone and a net gain in the number of days during the season.

Re: Idaho passed some interesting new rules...
aren't you allowed to use a flintlock if you wish during a reg ml season where in lines are allowed? so use whatever you want. no need to deny one or the other. or have 2 seasons, better yet.

I'm with BPS on adding a few more days for a traditional, therefore its a win, win.
Makes you wonder what the true thinking of the individuals at FWC to want to curtail or limit use of certain items. I would bet its personal preference.
Re: Idaho passed some interesting new rules...
you can hunt with inlines all of general gun season.

Re: Idaho passed some interesting new rules...
What gets me is why you can't bow hunt during a m/l hunt on a WMA. When I was a kid they were primitive weapons hunts

Re: Idaho passed some interesting new rules...
you could hunt with flintlocks or bows also during general gun, not just inlines, I believe. they should be increasing diff opportunities and extending seasons, if they want to increase revenue. (another license/quota fee)

Re: Idaho passed some interesting new rules...
It doesn't appear FWC is interested in increased revenues or opportunities for citizens, look at the crazy WMA so called management restrictions, you've got to be kidding me.... It seems like someone's AGENDA again.... Just like the STUPID WMA restrictions....
