We are less than 5% of the muzzleloader hunters?

Here in West Virginia, everyone used to use flintlock and percussion sidelocks, until our Legislators in their wisedom, changed the law to allow in-linemuzzleloaders, with scopes. I reckon our "primitive " season got modern.
West Virginia doesn't have a "primitive" just a muzzleloader season. The hunting challenge has been taken away, and subsituted with the killing challenge. In other words its like having a Model-T Ford and a Stock car racing, I reckon its still qualifies as a "Car Race"?????

I have never/nor will I ever own an In-line Muzzlerloader.

I'd rather tape a wooden dowel underneath my .308 single shot rifle and hunt during the regular deer season, and if I killed a deer take a picture and say "Yes, I killed it with a modern muzzleloader, the only difference is, I didn't shove the .308 shell down the muzzle.

I congradulate Pa. for their primitive season.

I saw a hunting video where a hunter was bragging on his "Primitive" deer kill in Canada with a muzzlerloader, saying I killed this deer with a primitive muzzleloader ,and when the tape panned around to show the weapon, you guessed it. A synthetic black stock, stainless steel in-line muzzler loader, with a large scope. Something just does't seem right !!!!!
