Some people also feel that compound bows and crossbows are "cheating" and shouldn't be allowed during archery season. The guys who pointed out that the regulations are about money, license sales and herd management are on the right track. Personally, I don't even like muzzle-loaders, yet I own three of them, because Indiana has such dumb regulations on what you can hunt a deer with. I guess if I could use a real rifle during "gun" season, I wouldn't mind if the muzzle-loader season required primitive guns with exposed lock mechanisms and no sabot-launched bullets. As things stand, I truly appreciate the added range, accuracy and reliability one gets with a modern, scoped ML. It gives me an option during gun season that has the same range and lethality as a slug gun, w/o the punishing recoil.
My wife, who has not hunted outside of IN thus far, is 100% satisfied with her T/C Omega and sees no reason to use any other gun, for any deer hunting. Given her success with that gun, so far, it is difficult to argue with her.
