Since the inception of muzzleloading seasons, hunters have been divided between those who want to do more hunting and do it as efficiently as possible and those hunters who enjoy the historical connection that blackpowder brings.

I personally love traditional muzzleloaders. Inlines leave me cold. However, barring another phenomena like "Davy Crockett" or "Jeremiah Johnson" that reawakens historical awareness, I see interest continuing to wane because younger generations simply learn so little early- American history.

Perhaps this best sums up the situation!:
