Extend Muzzleloader by one week . However, the first week of M/L should be traditional M/L only! The inline guys can wait until later or even for rifle season. 3. Extend bow season to allow "long and recurve" only. 4. Lower the cost of license as it's to damned expensive to hunt here! There is my two cents! [/quote] I partially agree with this as my argument in allowing the use of single shot handguns, rifles and shotguns during the muzzleloader season since we really don't hunt with primitive muzzleloaders any longer. Only Oregon, Idaho and Washington State does that.

Last year I proposed a change to mimic Mississippi's muzzleloader season here which would allow the use of single shot rifles and shotguns during the muzzleloader season, being that muzzleloaders are not really primitive weapons any longer and a single shot rifle or handgun chambered in a .35 caliber or larger cartridge that was a previous black powder cartridge like a 38/40, 44/40, 45/70, current handgun cartridge or a single shot shotgun with the foster style or sabot slug offers no advantage over a muzzleloader and in some ways not be as good as a muzzleloader. I am making another presentation this February and would like some feedback. Please view the survey and answer accordingly.
