MUZZLELOADER REGULATION CHANGE NOW OFFICIAL

A regulation change allowing deer hunters to use a hinge or break-open action muzzleloader during the primitive firearms season for deer has officially been enacted and will be in effect for the 2011 deer season. Previously, this type of muzzleloader was prohibited from use during primitive firearms deer season. The 2011 Primitive Firearms season for deer begins on December 12 and ends on December 31. Deer hunters are reminded that all blackpowder guns used during this season must load from the muzzle. After a review by the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and a Public Hearing held in the spring, the Fisheries and Wildlife Board approved the regulation change in April of 2011. The regulatory change became official when it was published in the Massachusetts Register and the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) by the Secretary of the Commonwealth this summer.

I probably have more time pissing in the woods while hunting than you got actual hunting. Wink1

Had to give it up for a few years when the wife got sick. Now that she is better and I'm retired I'll be getting back to it this fall. Beerchug


The only reason the state is "abortionizing" what a primitive weapon is, is to keep license sales up from guys that don't really know how to hunt. Embarassed1

Hell when I started hunting we only had big rocks and spears. Smoke1

I don't know a lot about primitive hunting firearms. If "Deer hunters are reminded that all blackpowder guns used during this season must load from the muzzle," then what is the point of having "a hinge or break-open action?" [Googling gave no satisfactory info.]

The hinge action protects the cap from the elements so you don't get a miss fire or loose the cap from contact with tree limbs and brush.

Yer older than I am...that's why. Yep, master hunter here...even chipped the flint for the spear heads myself! I patented it so the other Neanderthals had to come to me for for their spear points. Made a fortune till OSHA shut down my operation. Notsure Sad1 ....no finger guards on the chipping stones. Smoke1
