New Pimitive Weapons

Has anyone heard if they're planning on adding any new guns to the list or just more calibers

I'm at the March meeting of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, and the regulations board just approved the use of the following calibers for the primitive-arms season:
.38-40 Win.
.38-55 Win.
.375 Win.
.357 S&W Mag.
.38 S&W Special
.35 Win. SL
.351 Win. SL
Not recommended by the department nor approved by the commission was the .35 Whelen because of its high power. LDWF official Jimmy Anthony called it a 'long-range ballistic missile.'

gotta love "primitive weapons"... Makes me want to puke.
Realize I'm in the minority that still shoot flintlocks and feel this way. Just change the name of the season, to something else. Hell for that matter just make it all gun season there isn't any difference any more anyway.

Ultimately it's about license sales and gun & ammo sales, all of which results in more $ for LDWF. These new calibers aren't primitive, and given the range of most hunting situations, they are no different from a newer rifle.
LDWF needs to do more work improving access and increasing/improving the deer herd on public land. People are falling out of the hunting tradition because they have fewer places to go, and public hunting sucks. So they extend the season and open the primitive/archery seasons to more weapons, which further reduces the deer population on public land. It's a vicious cycle.

Downshift has a boner.
I like the season because it affords me two extra weeks of hunting opportunities, but I agree with Da Hammer, there is nothing "primitive" about my scoped .444 Marlin.
If they did go back to strictly primitive, that would give me a reason to shoot flintlocks and other actual primitive firearms, so I somewhat wish they would.

Got one in my safe that is late 1800's Winchester lever action. Does it have to be single shot? I currently use a .45-70, but would be happy if i could use that old .38-40.

I no longer see the point of a primitive season.

Rep Thibaut has a bill this session to allow breech loading rifles of a .35 or larger caliber be used during the primitive firearms season. Idk if that's what you're talking about, just saw the bill earlier today and remembered seeing this thread.
HB 230
