New Arkansas Straight Wall Regulations

[@scottbullard6097]

Modern gun season before Modern gun season.

[@curtis6554]

so basically, game and fish has done away with muzzle loader season.

[@choccolocco]

Sounds like it. What’s the point?

[@georgeparrault9945]

Getting Closer to Being able to Hunt like People did before Hunting Laws.

[@Imragnar1]

You can hunt with a 45 70 but not slugs?

[@glorybound7599]

357 and 44 magnum as well, cheap and efficient.

[@Off-target-xy6bx]

Everyone acts like the Game and Fish doesn’t control the number of deer taken. You only get so many tags it’s not the weapon used that controls your bag limits. This is arguably better than crippling deer with a muzzle loader and will help get more younger hunters into the sport so it’s not all bad. If we don’t get more young people interested in our sport we will soon not be hunting at all. It’s hard for kids to take game with bows and arrows and black powder muzzle loaders.

[@k9six185]

I disagree you comment about black powder…with new inline ignition and pyrodex pellets and saboted rounds you get ballistics comparable to a 30-30 at minimum….wounding deer?…I don’t think so…even a kentucky rifle with a .50 patched round ball has probably killed more deer than any other rifle…being around since the late 1700’s

[@skipmitchell3200]

I disagree. The challenge of the hunt is what its about. Why do people think you have to bag a 10 point every time you walk in the woods. Modern gun is already too long a season and then there is a modern gun youth hunt. The kids will be fine.

[@TerryLay-sn9gg]

@@Off-target-xy6bx so true great comments.

[@KellyWheeler-c4e]

B.S. muzzleloading is for dedicated hunters its not for the unskilled. If you arent capable of loading , aiming and firing one stay home.

[@rocksandoil2241]

Well, a muzzleloading rifle just with to junk status- sadly.

[@JeremyJohnson-y2j]

Odd ball rounds for straight walled what about the 357 mag , 44 mag and the 45/70 only Government i trust ?

[@Robert-n4p1g]

You can still use your muzzle loader get one from mc Worcester 600 yard muzzleloader lol I think its great no more pull trigger 1 minute later did I hit lol

[@jeffbaker5038]

Well, muzzleloader season will now become a modern gun slaughter. I would be pissed about this decision if I still lived there.

[@wedge999]

I get where you're coming from and if it wasn't for nationwide deer overpopulation (including places in Arkansas) and how that plays into the spread of CWD, I'd be pissed too (were I an Arkansas resident & muzzleload hunter). But given the need to get the population under control and prevent the spread of CDW, I don't see this as egregious. And when/if they can do that, it's possible if not likely that they will change things back. It'll be a year-to-year evaluation of the population.

[@donald6427]

Some of us are

[@FrankBurch-vk7mi]

Opinion not fact.many will argue falsely that muzzleloaders of the modern style are nothing but caseless single shot rifles capable of wounding to 500 yds.. it's the skill or lack of that matter..your opinion merely is like your ass..please keep to yourself unless it's clean and factually relevant.

[@TerryLay-sn9gg]

You are welcome to keep using your old smoke pole, good luck with the rain. Don't tell me you use an inline, what a cheater. Ammmm

[@Sureshots.]

It’s a bunch of bull crap. Second weekend of gun the deer are gone. Now it will be the second weekend of what should be muzzleloading.

[@jasonbroom7147]

I'm surprised you didn't mention that the 360 Buckhammer is, for all intents and purposes, a replacement for the very capable 35 Remington.

[@paulaymondyourright1475]

we dont have many deer left in calhoun county insurance companys are loving it it need to be black powder like it was intended to be before money did all the talking

[@agricola]

Are you kidding? Deer swarm every corner of this country

[@donaldweaver6849]

Deer population has soared. We need to decrease the deer population for the health of the deer and safety of traffic.

[@chrishansen1711]

So the .410 will fits in this law it’s not a shotgun but it’s not a rifle but its.41 caliber????

[@RattlerMan33]

It will depend on the temperature outside if it’s too warm I’m not hunting!! Can’t stand fighting with flies while skinnin a deer 🦌

[@choccolocco]

And getting eaten alive by skeeters in the woods….not to mention snakes.

[@dhunterwetahook3995]

Can you hunt with a 357 magnum

[@Cloud4hundred20]

I absolutely love my 350 legend ar m-15 build so many upgrades.

[@TerryLay-sn9gg]

@@Cloud4hundred20 you go friend I'm pretty sure the book says no automatic or semi automatic for primitive hunting, good luck out there and have fun with your family. Amen

[@outdoorswithjake2174]

Is my 9mm carbine leagal

[@mikewest712]

Absolutely

[@MichaelBurke-f2p]

I used to live in Louisiana and they did that years ago nothing smaller than a 30cal. during black power season but it had to be a single shot. But here in AR from what I have read it doesn't matter hand gun or rifle as long as 30cal. or larger. So like the guy below said they pretty much have done away with muzzle loader season.

[@mikewest712]

The amount of approved calibers that sold here in Arkansas is amazing. However, a few folks i have talked to are planning on using their normal deer rifles. Opening day of muzzleloader is going to be crazy.

[@carltaylor8973]

It's not a 5 plus 1

[@tonykruger871]

Banging on that desk was really irritating !

[@CMDROldDuck]

Stop pounding on that desk 😖

[@Chef-James]

Great eBay seller. Got a lot of Ruger accessorie stuff from these people.

[@tp-mh2ji]

What's next? Hunting deer with machine guns?

[@agricola]

Your kidding right?

[@FrankBurch-vk7mi]

@tp-mh2ji an idiot who can't read a simple law. Full auto is prohibited in hunting as are 8guage and bigger shotguns by federal la the use of poison or tranquilizers etc. Market hunting in the USA died long ago.now the federal police use them against those they serve..

[@darrylsisemore7297]

In my opinion I think it's fn stupid.

[@TerryLay-sn9gg]

@@darrylsisemore7297 you can still use your bow and arrow, I know a lot of hunters that won't use anything else. That's about 150 days to hunt Arkansas , you go woodsman
