OK - that's fairly clear. If you are rich enough that you don't have to hunt public lands, anything goes for $5 fee. If you can only afford to hunt public lands, you have to buy a primitive weapon.... even if you happen to have one for regular season. Nice.

So why do they insist on calling it a primitive weapon season. instead of a weapon of choice season?

Rhetorical question..... smile
