How many other places are like this?

[hhughh]

Just looked over the Mississippi (state, that is) Hunting Regs, and they don't even have a ML/BP season. What they have is a "primitive weapons" season. Any single-shot, exposed hammer rifle is legal, cartridge weapons, BP or that "smoky-less" stuff, are allowed. In other words, a single-shot .30-06 is perfectly legal. Does this type of "limited" season exist anywhere else?

Was just curious. Thanks a lot.

Hugh--him what would rather pack a firelock year 'round.

Has to be .38 cal. or larger.

manufactured prior to 1900, and replicas

so i don't think a T/C contender w/16" barrel or there single shot rifle will make the cut.............bob

I wish they had not allowed the ctg. guns. I still use my traditional BP rifle.

Heck, I'd be happy if they went back to muzzleloader only and did not allow scopes!

Yeah, but an H&R 1871 Handi-Rifle in .270 Win would be perfectly legal.

 

[tom hargrove]

:hmm: the 270 dosent quite make the .38cal as required :winking:

 

[1SHOT1KILL]

oooopppps :redface: you are absolutely right.

How about the H&R 1871 Handi-Rifle in 45/70 then.

I used the handi-rifle 45/70 last year to take a deer during the primitive weapon season. It just didn't feel right after all was said and done. This year I will be toting my hawken again.

Before the cheatlines came out scopes weren't allowed. When cheatlines came out they weren't allowed. Now look at'em. :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:

The last time I was there(1978) you were allowed a deer a day for 60 days. You could use dogs too. They used a half hound and Airdale. I asked Gamme Warens wife how many she killed, she said about 3. One Ohio deer would make two of theirs, small. We was their in may to run our Foxhounds, the first meal was allways Deer. Dilly

Depends on what part of the state you're in. Deer around here are on the small side. Further north where I grew up 300 pounders aren't unheard of. Lotta soybean fields up there.

Oh heck yes, as you get into Michigan's U. P. its not uncommon to see a thirty point buck that will easily go 300 pounds. Ask any one who's from the U. P. and he will tell you its the truth.

When I said further north I was referring to north Mississippi. :grin:

 

[blacksmithshoppe]

Now there's something, a doe with a nice rack.

It's an antlered doe, a genetic defect. Some of them never go out of velvet.

I helped a guy drag out a deer last year during a primative weapons hunt on a WMA up here in north Mississippi. He had shot it with a scoped Handi rifle shooting a .50 S&W bullet.
