My favorite is the .25 cal which I use for squirrel hunting, it's a real kick to chase squirrels with it.

We need a primitive weapons squirrel season.
Honestly though that does sound fun.

So the point is everyone seems to love the primitive weapon season as an extension of firearm season, not the requirement to use a true muzzleloader. Why not just extend firearm season????

Why not do away with the primitive arms season and the youth hunts altogether. Why do kids need a special weekend? My young'n has bowhunted on youth weekend since he was 14. I hunt Area 2 and these two special interest weekends cut into half of MY early archery season.

If it was up to me we would have bows only(crossbows for elderly and handicapped only) until Thanksgiving and then "no holds barred, anything goes" for the remainder of the season. But that wouldn't generate much interest for newcomers and would probably alienate a few of your "opening weekend warriors" as well.
