High powered rifles were banned from hunting. “That was fine with me: I was a dedicated muzzleloader shooter and hunter at the time.”
Pretty short sighted point of view by this guy. Bummer.
Well, being from Iowa, I can tell you that it is full of small farm houses and acreages all over the place! No it’s not a great idea to have rifles shooting everywhere when a farm house is close by. Shotguns, bows, muzzle loaders, all ok.
