To the moderators, if this thread needs to be moved please do so. Hello to all, I live in Indiana. We have a muzzleloading deer season. This includes any muzzleloader from a matchlock to a $10K scoped inline. I'm going to petition our DNR to establish a primitive firearms deer season. A primitive firearm would be
any matchlock, flintlock or sidelock muzzleloader loaded with loose black powder or loose BP substitute with patched round ball only and open sights, including tang or peep sights. Rifled or smoothbore, but no inline of any type. I spoke with one of our deer biologist and he suggested I include any states that already have a primitive firearms season. Especially any state near Indiana in any direction but any state would be helpful. A internet search was disappointing with only Georgia coming up. I really believe there are more than one state with a primitive firearm deer season. So, I'm reaching out to the members of this forum to respond about your states' primitive deer season. Thanks in advance for response.
