Well actually Id be on board for a lot of those things too especially if it meant more opportunities to hunt. There are no stone tablets saying you can use whatever tech on whatever weapon to hunt in whatever season. There isnt a line at the bottom of the bill of rights saying that you are granted the unalienable right to use a crossbow in the archery season. Game departments are supported by selling us hunting licenses and tags. Game animals are a finite resource. They can make the tags very expensive and sell a limited number of them (think about the states with lots of expensive out of state tags) or they can try to limit the success of hunters so they can sell more tags at a lower price. I know what I want them to do but maybe other people feel differently. So would you support allowing crossbows in the archery season if it meant there were no longer over the counter opportunities in arizona ? If you had a choice between using primitive muzzleloaders and keeping the current number of muzzleloader tags vs 50 or 70% fewer if allowed to use modern muzzleloaders what would you choose ? Im genuinely interested. I think the "slippery slope" and "well we might as well use straight wall cases and 4x scopes then !" Responses dont hold water and are actually classic fallacies of logic. I like being able to have a tag in my pocket every year. I want my kids to be able to do that. In the future we are going to have fewer animals to hunt on less land. If I have to hunt with a recurve or Primitive muzzleloader or a spear Im willing to do that if it means I get to keep hunting.

Regarding the technology race that always seems to happen with primitive/limited success hunts- i just see it as short sighted and selfish. Game managers have a certain number of animals they think can be safely take out of a population. They sell tags based on predicted success rates. If people build modern muzzleloaders that have the same effective range as a modern rifle in short order we will have fewer and fewer tags. Then those same guys shooting their 600yd smokeless muzzleloaders bitch about never getting drawn. Id rather have rules limiting muzzleloaders to iron sights and black powder with a 20% predicted success rate and have 500 tags for a unit then allow modern muzzleloaders with a 40% success rate and have 250 available tags.

Hmm that didnt work either. Can you message me then i reply ?

Hello looking for a remington 870 20 gauge youth shotgun for my middle boy. Fieldmaster would be great, express too. Prefer face to face around Tucson. Thanks

Brevettes are neat. Very historical. Roy Marcot did a good book on them. Lot of them had interesting lives south of the border.

Neat gun. I think it may be a brevette Colt. Has a cool look to it

There are lots of 416s and 458 win mags that guys got thinking they were cool and they are just taking up space in the back of the safe. Thats why its common to find boxes of big bore ammo with only one or two missing haha. Im happy to give those a new home.

Some of you may know that a lot of Sterling Davenports estate was recently sold in tucson at a “the girls” estate sale. By the time I found out about it pretty much everything was gone.
