Any thoughts on the state approving a 45-70 during primitive deer season. The current inline muzzleloaders aren't exactly primitive anymore. Probably more accurate at longer distances than a 45-70.

No problem with me. Mississippi is single shot only.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

I'm against it, it is a modern cartridge, smokeless out of a Marlin with a scope?? Hail no.
maybe if you use black powder loads out of a 1800's replica with open sights....

Might as well do away with the special seasons, as 49er would say. Just open on X-date and close on X-date.
There is nothing primitive about today's inline rifles. A true primitive season would be stick bows, recurve bows, flintlocks or percussion caps with open sights. Set that season and let's see how many guys go in the woods.
I want a special handgun-only week. Nothing but handguns. Why can't we have that?

Of course theres an argument as to the how primitive a modern compound bow is compared to a recurve.To me its not much difference in comparing a muzzle loader with a single shot 45-70.

I have a 45-70 and I don't want it to become legal as a primitive weapon. I have a scoped, inline muzzle loader (far from primitive)for that.

Why not just do away with all of firearm season and make archery only.

I have a long bow, recurve ad a percussion muzzleloader. Just wanted to see what the thoughts were on using a single shot 45-70.

I'm not in favor of adding the .45-70 b/c I think it dilutes the meaning of primitive, but so has the inline.
Too few are going to use a flintlock or stick-string/recurve, though, and those don't make money for license sales, gear, ammo and other revenue-producing goods. So there never will be a true primitive weapons requirement other than what's on Wheeler NWR with its flintlock requirement in its tiny season.
Just open "deer season" Oct. 1 and close it Feb. 10. Those who want to hunt in the heat, get after it.

Why not just do away with all of firearm season and make archery only. I love rifle and slug gun hunting because I love getting down from the stand and still hunting but I could def. be ok with archery only

Its about killing more deer...fewer folks hunting now and folks whining about all the work of a smokepole...MS bumped it back to .35 cal...everybody sold their 45/70s and bought .35 Whelens...ruined primitive weapon season...just like our now liberal doe limits...
