Primitive season with these is ok but flintlock only sucks.
I'm at the other end of the opinion scale
WPAH. A few years ago Louisiana changed the two-week "Primitive" season to allow
" Single shot, breech loading rifles,.38 caliber or larger of a kind or type manufactured prior to 1900 and replicas, reproductions or reintroductions of that type rifle having an exposed hammer that use metallic cartridges loaded either with black powder or modern smokeless powder. All of the above may be fitted with magnified scopes."
Most people are now hunting with scoped NEF/H&R .444's or 45-70's during the "primitive" season. I would rather one week or "any muzzleloader" and one week of "flintlock only". Heck, our total gun season for deer is three months long, so there's no lack of hunting opportunity.
