Re: MtMan-List: RE: in-lines

["Barry Conner" <buck.conner@worldnet.att.net>]

In Colorado we pressured Fish & Game a few years ago with our muzzle loading
assn. to change the rules to get rid of in-lines. This passed and everything
was cool, then came the big buck manufactures that make the in-lines and
started making donations to the boys in Colorado government this past year,
so we're not sure if the tables will turn again or not. This will happen
more than we like to think when these companies start looking at the special
seasons and revenue lost from that state's hunters not being able to use
their products.

Have you seen some of the articles in hunting magazines with editors
claiming 150-200 killing shots with these weapons and there pills measured
in 30-50 grain loads. Just what we need some damn fool wounding more animals
and fuel for the fire from the animal lovers.
