Which is exactly what I said I was doing. During the ML season I use caplock and flintlock rifles from previous centuries. The modern gun is for the general firearms season.

Sounds good, and I hope you enjoy yourself. What suits you must not necessarily suit everyone.

This is simply not true. There are lots of counties where stupid policitians make the hunting regulations. Many of these counties are wide open, pure farmland and forested land. There is no justification whatsoever for restrictive regulations. Just stupid politicians.

By this argument you would outlaw firearms altogether.

If you get your wish you'll be playing right into the hands of the gun grabbers.
