With the reduction in hunters nationwide, I'm for whatever it takes to put more people into the woods. Happy hunting

I agree with that and I have nothing against taking every advantage our government is willing to sell to you. It just makes me shake my head when I see someone I know showing or talking about the gun they bought for muzzleloader season. Uhh you do realize that is a breech loading rifle with a self contained brass cartridge right? That's what I always want to say to them. Have no issue with it just call it what it is. It's not primitive. The Hawkins rifle is primitive.
